I HAVE BEEN HAVING INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FOR THE A COUPLE OF YEARS. I FINALLY DECIDED TO TRY AND FIX THE PROBLEM AND DISCOVERED THIS IS NOT AN UNUSUAL PROBLEM WITH GMC PICKUPS. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS MAY OR MAY NOT WORK. MOST OF THE TIME IT IS WHEN IT IS A LITTLE DAMP OUTSIDE BUT THERE IS NO SET PATTERN. I CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH THEM WORKING FINE AND THEY JUST STOP. *AK
