THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK INFREQUENTLY. SOMETIMES THEY WORK IN THE RAIN AND SOMETIMES THEY DON'T. I HAVE TRIED TO DETECT A PATTERN BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TOO. I ALSO FEEL THAT MY CRUISE CONTROL IS AFFECTED BY THIS ALSO BECAUSE IT IS PART OF THE SAME OPERATIONAL ASSEMBLY ARM IN THE TRUCK. MY CRUISE WORKS SOMETIMES AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY DIFFERENT MECHANICS THAT THIS COULD BE SEVERAL DIFFERENT PROBLEMS AND THE ONLY WAY TO REMEDY WOULD BE TO PURCHASE A NEW MOTOR. (VERY, VERY EXPENSIVE) ANY INFORMATION THAT YOU CAN PROVIDE WILL BE APPRIECIATED.
NO SUMMARY
WINDSHIELD WIPERS FUNCTION INTERMITTENTLY. THERE IS NO CERTAIN CONDITION FOR THEM TO STOP FUNCTIONING. DEALER SAYS THERE IS A SHORT IN THE CIRCUIT BOARD. *AK
