On my grandson's 2K Monte, he says wipers work, then just quit,, then may or may not take off again,,,, annoying and unsafe. There is no error code from car 'puter. Would it be a good idea to just change out the wiper motor, rather than hours of trouble shooting an mystery solving ? Or is some head-scratching required ?

 

Hi there and welcome to the forum.
I would check and change the fuse first just to make sure you don't have a weak or blown fuse.
Hopefully someone with more experience with this will post soon and give you some insight

 

Like barbara mentioned it could be something as simple as a fuse..
Or you may have to change out the wiper/turn signal control...
I would also check all the connections for rust/corrosion.

 

Thank for the super-quick reply [s]
ok,,,,will check connections,,,,,,,,,,,,, as far as a a fuse issue,,,, I would think a fuse is a go-no go thing,,,,,,,,,,, not intermittent ,,,,,,,,,,,, I think it had a different turn, wiper switch installed in steering column a while back. how about the pulse board module,,,, ????

Earlier this spring I had to replace both wiper arms, they were spinning/ slipping on the studs,,,,, I was thinking that happened from too many attempts at turning on wipers when they were frozen in ice/snow.

That bog could have added extra stress, and may have also damaged the motor, module, etc.
