Windshield Whipers!!!

[mhwpd108]

I Just Bought My 1998 Blazer, And Today Was The First Time It Has Rained Since Ive Had It, And I Go To Turn The Windshield Wipers On, And They Dont Come On!! Ive Checked The Fuse And It Was Fine. They Come On Sometimes, And Then Other Times They Dont, And Then When They To Come On They Cut Off By Themselves In The Middle Of The Windshield! Can Anybody Help?!?!?!?!

you probably need a new circuit board for the wiper motor, some are under a recall, but I don't think 98's were included. Do a google groups search for wiper and Jonathan Race, should find out how to fix or replace. Fixing involves resoldering a few joints where the wiring connector interfaces the board.

I love recall items! They work fine now!!

Im not sure, may want to check with the Chevy Dealership, what it is; is the circut box for the windshield whipers motor goes bad.

I am fairly sure that the 97 Blazers are covered, my brother had one and I think he mentioned getting a recall notice

Where did u find the recall for the 98 blazer wipers?

I wanna know where you found the recall for the wipers on the 98 Blazer too.

the dealership that i bought it from recieved a e-mail regarging the windsheild whipers and said there was a recall on the circuit board that will go bad

[missionblazer]

If its not too much trouble, would you call your dealership and get the recall number and post it on here please?

Yes it covers 1997 and 1998, Check your VIN to be sure if your Qualify, I have a 97 and just had it done at no charge :-)

What's funny(not funny ha ha) is that I have a 98 that has the problem, but they say that there are no recalls for my vehicle.

I feel your pain, They didn't want to do mine either
I went to GM Canada and gave them my VIN number and they said it was covered. I went back to the dealer and argued again with the service manager. Finally got it done.

Suggestion, Have the recall ID with you, a printout would be better, Just seems to put them off edge a little and more tending to give in. rather than going in and saying " I have a recall thingy that I want to have done" BTW don't call it a recall, call it a "campain ID". apparently to GM its 2 different things. and if you state it as a recall and you are wrong, they will not check the campains for you automatically.
A recall is a safty issue, something that could cause harm to a driver or passenger. ie; the seatbelt or seat that rips out of the floor in an impact. Don't laugh these vehicles have that defect too. See website stated earlier.
A Campain is something that has been found after the vehicle was in use for a while. Its not "really" a safty issue but your truck could just catch fire and burn up around you. (note the scarcasim) i.e. the AC system emits a foul Oder when you use it. This is also defect listed on the site listed above but since GM only gave you XX amount of time to have the problem fixed now the repair is approx $420 CDN to have done. ( I know I wanted to try and get that one done too, My A/C still smells)
As far as I am concerned they are all the same things. but GM splits them up into "safety" and "not-safty" related. Only the safty ones they will do with to much arguement because of goverment legislation.
