Consumer Description

WINDSHEILD WIPER WILL RUN AND THEN STOP WHEN IT IS RAINING AND WILL EVEN CONTINUE TO RUN WHEN I TURN THEM OFF AFTER THE RAIN HAS STOPED. I TRACED THE PROBLEM WIPER MOTOR. WHEN THE WIPERS STOP I PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WIGGLE THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ON THE WIPER MOTOR AND ITS MAGIC THEY WORK FOR 5 MINS AND THEN YOU REPEAT THE PROCESS. WITH SPEED LIMITS OF 70 MPH I DO NOT RECOMMEND DOING THIS ON HIGHWAYS, PULL OVER AND WAIT TILL THE RAIN ENDS ( HOTEL MAY BE REQUIRED). WE NEED HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM, GM DOES NOT CARE, THEY WANT ME TO BUY A NEW MOTOR FROM THEM, THIS ONE IS DEFECTIVE AND THE SAY THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM. I DO NOT NEED TO PURCHASE ANOTHER DEFECTIVE PART FROM THEM.*AK
