Wiper motor ?

[Rio_Grande]

This ia kinda embarasing
I have had intermitant wiper motor issues. It started when I was fighiting an overcharging problem. the wipers would work on and off, ten when the overcharging was fixed I never saw any further problems out t it.

Recently the issue is back. Initally if I left the switch on and hit a bump it would go back to working for the rest of the day. But now nothing. I still need to check my fuses but I was wondering if it is more common for the motor to go out or the colum switch?

I will access the pump and check it with a volt meter,, just wondering what others have seen?

well, the answer to your question is column switch.. it's actually pretty common..

BUT: I tell you this from experience.. change the wiper motor relay (in the underhood PDC) before you throw much else at it.

On my 2K... Same symptoms a coupla years ago.. giving the knob/switch a quik full twist, or three, seemed to help some.. then, R&R'd the relay.. No problems since.

Well looks like my relay was fine so I am down to the switch and motor. When I turn the switch on ad pop the relay in and out it clicks. So there is power to the relay from the switch so I am guessing it is the motor.
