Four problems related to windshield wiper/washer switch have been reported for the 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Recently bought 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan. The front wipers stopped working most immediately. We replaced the switch in the steering column and that did nothing. Then we replaced the wiper motor. That seemed to work but now they won't come on until the car has been on for a while. That is not safe as the rain does not wait until the car has been on for a while. Is such a safety hazard and other vans have recalls for this why not mine?.
The wiper blades will turn on by themselves while driving. To get them to turn off you must turn the ignition system off then restart the vehicle. If you turn on the wipers while driving they will not go back off until the car has been turned off and restarted also.
The intermittent mode of the windshield wipers dose not work. The wiper control module has been replaced twice. The vehicle has been out of service a total of five days for the attempted repairs.
Windshield wippers sometimes stop working when in the intermitant mode. Had module in steering column replaced. Still happens.
