1998 S10 Wiper Problem

[BAGNJ]

My son's 98 S10 has a wierd wiper problem. When you first start the truck the wipers work OK. After 20-30 minutes the wipers stop working. It sounds like something is overheating but I'm not sure what. Any suggestions?

Bad circuit board in wiper motor. Wiggle the electrical connection on the wiper motor, if they start up, you can replace just the board.

There is a recall on just this problem. From GM its called a campain.

I will have a look on Alldata and see if I can find the number for you.
Had it done on my 97 took em about 30 mins and cost $0.00 :O

Instead of replacing you can just solder the 7 points that connect the board to the black plug. Doesn't cost you anything and fixes the problem.
