Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40MPH IN A HEAVY RAIN STORM WITH THE WIPERS ON. THE WIPERS FAILED AND STOPPED UP ON THE WINDSHIELD. I COULD NOT GET THEM TO RESPOND ON ANY WIPER SETTING. THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD STILL RESPOND WHEN TURNING THE WIPER SWITCH ON SO THE DRIVER SWITCH APPEARED TO WORK. I HAD THE BCM CODES PULLED AND IT SHOWED THE WIPER PARK SWITCH CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS FAILURE.
