The wipers will only run on high speed?
With nothing in between?
All other functions work, like the cruise, and signals.

I did a search here, and found the most common problems were the wipers not shutting off.
A fix suggested was to clean the connector before the wiper motor, and re seal.

I will try that when I can get to it, unless someone knows something else.

Would this help with my deal?
And or,, has anyone had this problem?

Thanks.

I had the same problem and did clean the plug and resealed with some di-electric grease to protect the pins. I also added a weather strip across the hood opening to keep out water that came off windshield and tied up plug out of the way.

I am new to the forum but I have a wiper problem. I have high speed only with no park position and no intermitant or mist positions working. I have looked and diconnected various connections to no avail. I think it is some sort of circuit board or relay but I do not know where to find either. I need some insight on this, any suggestions?

Most 12 volt problems stem from a poor or non-existent ground. At least you know the wiper motor is getting power.

I removed and reinserted the modular connector on the wiper motor several times in an attempt to scratch up the surfaces and it worked!

I had the same problem, the wipers refused to park.

Thanks for the response, I have taken that connector by the motor apart and inspected it. I put a little di-electric grease in the connector although it was dry before. I would not think it is the connector if I am getting action from the motor. I still think it is a circuit board if I only new where it was. You have not heard of this problem being on a recall list have you? I know that GM had a similiar problem in it's SUV.

The only other suspects I would figure would be on top of the steering column, there's a module there and the stalk could be suspect and or supporting wiring. I'd check all the connectors around the steering column as well.

I have an update for my problem which is still not resolved, I measured the risistance at the wiper switch which I believe also holds the risistors for speed control. Most of the value seam to be way out of range at least compared to a chevy. All values are in Ohms. Multifunction Lever Position (mist) 684, (1) 430K (2) 240K (3)150K (4)67K (5) 28K (Low) 680. Yes I still have high. I believe my problem is is with the module up in the steering column. I am looking for conformation.
