1998 GMC Jimmy Windshield Wiper Problems?

Question:
I've been having problems with the wipers in my 1998 Jimmy. They work, but badly. Delay doesn't always work...if I try to use delay, sometimes the wipers function in the low or high mode, but not delay. When I turn them off, they will keep going for a minute or two, and then stop in the middle of the windshield. It's getting annoying, and since I don't have a warranty, I'm looking to repair them myself. Could it be the motor or the relay? I'm not sure where to start first. I'd appreciate any responses!

Megan, replace the wiper pulse board module. they did have a recall on this for some models and years. even though it may not fall under the recall they still go bad and by what you describing it sounds like it.
they are easy to replace, the wiper motor is mounted on the firewall. on it theres a plastic (black) cover with four torx 15 or 20 in size. undo the electrical connector and remover this cover and it slides right out. new part will come with new screws and cover. install new pulse board and then get some rtv sealant ad put a very small bead of it around the edge of the cover and install with new screws. dont overtighten. then plug the electrical connector back in. that should cure what ails you.

If they work then its probably not the motor. I would start from the motor wire then work my way through the car.

i ad a similar problem with a truck of mine. it may be dust buuilt up inside the switch. i had to ever so often turnthem on and off real fast to clear it out. seems the would work for a while after that. also check where the wiring harness plugs into the wiper moter, have had some trouble there to. as far as it bein the moiter it is possible but it will work every now and then so it kinda points else where.

I have a 96 silverado and received a letter from GM about a year ago recalling the wiper motor, never did it cause no prob. You might want to check and see if the recall stretched into that year also, if its recall theyll fix it regardless of warranty.
