Consumer Description

MY 1998 S-10 PICKUP WIPERS WILL FAIL WITHOUT NOTICE AT ANY SETTING OF THE INTERMITTANT SWITCH. I REPLACED THE SWITCH ASSEMBLY BUT THAT DID NOT HELP THE PROBLEM. SOMWETIMES THEY WILL RESTART BY WIGGLING THE WIRES GOING TO THE WIPER MOTOR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE WHEN IT FAILS IN A DOWNPOUR YOU CAN NOT SEE HOW TO GET OFF THE ROAD. THE PROBLEM HAS EXISTIED THE LAST 3 YEARS. *NM
