Three problems related to windshield wiper/washer switch have been reported for the 1998 Oldsmobile Bravada. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Windshield wipers stopped working during rainstorm. Had to pull off road due to lack of visibility. Wipers worked again after weather cleared and vehicle sat for an hour. Conversations with other Bravada owners indicate this is a prevalent problem. Are there any recalls for this problem? is the accessory connection box problem related to this too?.
The windshield wipers would fail without warning. The motor would be running but the wiper would not move. This also occured when trying to wash the windshield and while driving the vehicle in the rain creating a very dangerous situation.
Intermittent wiper circuit board faulty,wipers failed in rain causing me to drive off road onto muddy shoulder. No accident,damage or injury. Local olds dealer offered no remedy. Had new board installed by independant service tech. At personal expense. This failure is not uncommon,and poses horrific threat. Should be investigated with determination. I expect to be reimbursed. Thank you. A. O. Mccrohan.
