Consumer Description

THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR WOULD ORIGINALLY NOT TURN OFF WHEN ACTIVATED ON INTERMITTENT, OR FULL ON. NOW IT SHUTS OFF BY ITSELF WHEN ACTIVATED. IT DID THIS THE OTHER DAY DURING A SEVERE RAINSTORM. OTHER OWNERS OF S-10'S THAT I KNOW ARE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD TO HAVE YOUR WINDSHIELD WIPERS QUIT ON YOU , IN TRAFFIC OR NOT, DURING A RAINSTORM. *TR
