The windshield wiper on my 1996 olds Bravada started to work intermittently. The problem, as diagnosed by a gm dealer was a faulty wiper control board/module. This is the fault described on gm recall 03023. But I was told that only some of the 1996 Bravadas are covered by this recall (and mine is not). When I first encountered it in June of 2005, I replaced the fuse and everything worked fine for a week or two. Then the problem occurred again, replaced the fuse and everything worked fine for a while. This cycle kept occurring until christmas day 2005 when even replacing the fuse did not help. I do not understand how the same exact problem can be covered on some 96 Bravadas but not on others.

I bought my vehicle used (about 30,000 miles on it). Roughly 4 months after I bought it the windshield wipers were not working correctly. I would turn them off and they would continue to go, sometimes I would use my sprayers to clean the windshield and the wipes would wipe 14 times (I counted). Sometimes I would turn them on and they wouldn't come on and other times I would turn them off and they would stop right in my viewing area of the windshield. Happened quite frequently.

Windshied wipers either won't work at all or stop fail after they have been working. I read in the paper that their is an on-going investigation of this problem with 1997 olds cutlasses and wanted to let you know that it is happening on my car as well.

Today I had to have replaced the connection to the positive side of the battery. The mechanic cut off a bunch of the wire as the corrosion was widespread. Almost everytime I stopped the car and turned the motor off I would have to use a pair of pliers to tighten up the connection to get started. This has happened many times since last summer and I even had the alternator replaced on a road trip because we couldn't start the car and this is what a mechanic said was needed. The problem with the windshield wipers looks like it was covered in a recall but since I purchased the car used I didn't know about the recall when I discovered the problem last winter. I replaced the windshield wiper connections at my mechanic and paid for it.

This wastes gasoline and I don't know how to stop the awd and get it to 2wd.

The windshield wipers on my Bravada don't always work. I've taken it to a dealership and they have replaced the wiper switch and it still does the same thing. I've taken it back a couple of times and the just tightened everything up and say it is okay. But the wipers still don't work all the time. There really is no rhyme or reason, I thought I had it pinned down to when the engine got hot or when it was hot outside, but even that doesn't always hold true. The dealership thinks I'm crazy and say the wipers are okay. I'm not sure what to do at this point about getting it fixed.
