    Wiper Woes

    For awhile now my wipers have only worked on high. They also do not "park" themselves at the bottom of the windshield. if you put the stalk in any other position than high they just stop.

    Relay? Motor? Switch?

    I did a bit of searching and nothing worthwhile came up.

    My thought was the relay but i figured i would ask and see before throwing money at it.

    i would say relay. since your switch and motor technically function.

      Check that you have continuity from the black/red wire at the switch to the F1 terminal contact for the in the fusebox.

        try removing the steering wheel, and tighten the Philips head ground screw behind there. This worked for me, when my wipers were acting up.

          Have to look at that ground wire. I can't remember if they started to act up before or after I added the cruise.

            one way to check, is to turn the wipers on....and if its stalls, hit the cruise stalk as well. When I did that, the wipers would magically work as it should.
