Question about windsheild wipers - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

rcbildr · 11-04-2007, 11:20 PM

On my 85 Suburban the wiper delay is not working right. The delay does not work at all and to stop the wipers I have to hold/rotate the switch to the mist position and release it when the wipers get in the right spot.

I had to do some work in the steering column and while I was there I installed a new switch and that didn't fix anything. I noticed the wire harness coming from the switch plugs in to a box that mounts to the steering column just behind the dash. Do I need to replace the box, or is the problem in the wiper motor?

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!
