Ten problems related to rear window wiper washer motor have been reported for the 1998 Chevrolet S10. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The windshield wiper motor would originally not turn off when activated on intermittent, or full on. Now it shuts off by itself when activated. It did this the other day during a severe rainstorm. Other owners of s-10's that I know are reporting the same problem. It is a severe safety hazard to have your windshield wipers quit on you , in traffic or not, during a rainstorm.
During a return trip from canada it started to rain. My wipers were working fine for about 5 minutes then they stopped abruptly. I had to stop before an accident occured. I had to manually move them and they started back up. This issue has happened 5 times since( every time it has been drove in the rain). The wipers stop at random times and sometimes they will not shut off for up to 5 minutes after turning the switch off. I have parked this vehicle until I can get this safety issue resolved. I do not want to replace this part unless I know if this same issue will occur with the replacement part or not.
