1 Windshield Wiper/washer Motor problem

Windshield wipers would quit while using them while raining or not. It's lucky I have rainx in my wiper fluid and on the wipers which gave me enough visibility to see, but this could be a very hazardous situation.

2 Windshield Wiper/washer Motor problem

Failure Date: 05/17/2003

Windshield wipers fail to work intermittently, obviously I only attempt to use my wipers when it is raining. The last time I was driving in heavy rain on the interstate. I managed to get to the shoulder without incedent. This is a very dangerous situation.

3 Windshield Wiper/washer Motor problem

Windshield wipers would come on or go off on their own whether it would be raining or not. Would lift hood and touch wiring harness, and windshield wipers would work fine for a while. This would cause a great deal of havoc on driver's visibility.
