Four problems related to windshield wiper/washer have been reported for the 1998 Chevrolet C1500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Windshield washer and wiper started malfuntion during all cycles of normal operation leaving driver to halt vehicle until rain subsides or wipers resume function. Unsafe to use due to unreliability and complete failure of visibility during rainy weather.
When driving in a hurricane induced rainstorm the windshield wipers stopped. Unable to see, this was the first time this had happened. Had to pull off road because was unable to see. These wipers were inactive for 10-15 minutes. They started back functioning on their own. They worked for about 5-7 minutes before stopping again. Consumer opened hood and shook wiring to windshield wipers and they became active again. However they were working intermittently afterwards. Did contact manufacturer, filed complaint and they noted by this problem was due to sodered joints and connector pins that cause malfunction. No repairs have been made but plan to have repairs as of tomorrow.
Windshield wipers stopped working and then resumed function after an unspecific length of time.
Windshield wipers fail without any indication due to module.
