Consumer Description

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS JUST STOP WORKING. IT WOULD OCCASIONALLY WORK AT TIMES BUT IT WOULDN'T CORRESPOND TO THE CORRECT SPEED. YOU CAN PUT THE WIPERS ON THE FASTEST SETTING AND IT WILL ONLY WORK ON THE SLOWEST SETTING OR JUST WORK INTERMITTENTLY AND SOMETIMES NOT WORK AT ALL. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH OTHER OWNERS OF THE 2006 DODGE RAM 1500 AND MAYBE IT IS A DEFECTIVE CONTROL MODULE OR DEFECTIVE FUSE BOX. *TR
