Windshield Wiper/washer problems of the 1997 Chevrolet 1500

The wiper motor stops with no warning and I have to get out of the truck and hit the wiper motor to get it going again. I called gm about this and there was a recall for this problem but they will only fix trucks up to 1996. My truck is a 1997 model.

It was raining,I turned on my windshield wipers,they all of a sudden stopped working,then started working again. After the rain stopped I turned off the wipers but they would not turn off at all. I had to stop my truck and turn off the engine for my wipers to stop. I check for a recall and to my surprise there was a recall for the controller circuit board for the same year of my truck. I called the dealer and they said to bring my vehicle in. When I took the truck for a service recall,they checked the VIN# then advised me that there was no recall on my truck. I said there was a recall and I was having the same problems as the recall. The service dept. Said there was nothing they could do. I called general motors they said that my truck although it is the same year and having the same problems as the recall,my truck is not involved in the recall.
