windshield wipers and park lights

[pwcherra]

can some one help with this problem. My wipers will always work if i wash the windshield but not always if I just turn them on. Also if I hold the brake for a long period of time such as sitting at a red light my park lights come on. I thought it was the multifuction switch but it was not. If you have had such a problem please shoot me an e-mail thanks. Will

Try squirting some W40 into the intermitant wiper switch. Flip off end cap, unscrew inner plug and spray in some oil. Be carefull as there is a spring inside. I read about it at another forum and it cleared out all my wiper problems.Go to this site (http://home.earthlink.net/~vqfaq/) and look up under subtopics-(Intermitant washer switch).
Good luck

this maybe a stupid question but is the intermitant wiper switch on the wiper motor. I replaced the multifunction switch already so I am thinking it must be something to do with the motor. Thanks Will

It is at the end of the turn signal and high beam - low beam arm.

I replaced the whole switch but it made no differance.

You'll need to check your Windshield wiper govenor..located by the driver side strut tower

as to that brake and parking lamp thing, I have no clue besides maybe checking the brake switch underneath the dash and making sure you are not having abnormal contact somewhere....good luck

Check your brake fluid
