Very similiar to gm recall no. 03023, NHTSA campaign number: 03v159000. The windshield wipers fail to operate on random intermitten occasions. This failure occurs randomly and without any leading indicators. The failure occurs in the event when functionality of the wipers are most needed and hence it effects the visibility of the driver during inclement weather. There seems to be a short in the in the wiper circuit module due to crack/structure failure of the pcb (printed circuit board). There has been a recall on this same issue however on the same vehicle but only known failure VIN, not all vehicles.
Wipers only work sometimes, very dangerous when it is raining.

We own a 1998 chevy silverado 4x4 that has wiper problems. The recall was issued for 1994 thru 1997 model chevy vehicles. Our son had a '93 that also had the same problems. The new "board" that was installed by dealers also would end up having the same problems. The solder spots were not large enough to cover the contact areas for the wiring and need repair in that form. We are still fighting the problem in our '98 and feel that due to safety issues during rain or snow that this should be recalled until fixed properly.
