THE WIPERS OF MY 1998 SUBURBAN K1500 HAVE STARTED WORKING ONLY OCCASIONALLY. THEY CAN GO MINUTES WITHOUT WORKING AND THEN WORK FINE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND I'M NOT SURE IF THE SWITCH NEEDS REPLACING OR IT'S JUST A LOOSE CONNECTION SOMEWHERE. *NM
THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED OPERATING WITHOUT WARNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY 1998 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN C1500. THEY HAVE BEEN PARKING INCORRECTLY, BUT HAD NOT PREVIOUSLY FAILED TO OPERATE. THE NEXT DAY THEY WORKED AGAIN. *NM
