THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE FAILED ON NUMEROUS OCCASSIONS WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THIS WILL ALSO OCCUR IF THE TRUCK IS STOPPED. AT FIRST IT APPEARS TO BE A LOOSE OR INCOMPLETE CIRCUIT. HOWEVER, TALKING TO A FRIEND WHO HAS A TRUCK SAME YEAR AND MODEL HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. HE TOOK HIS TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPAIRED IT. HE DID NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY HAD DONE TO THE TRUCK BUT SAID THEY REPLACED SOME PARTS. THEY ALSO CHARGED HIM FOR THE SERVICE. INDISCUSSING THIS PROBLEM WITH OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, THE PROBLEM IS AS FOLLOWS: THERE IS A FAIL;URE IN THE CIRCUIT BOARD ON THE WIPER MOTOT ASSEMBLY.
