The windshield wipers on my 95 c1500 works randomly at best. The pump for the fluid also only works some of the time. Some times I'll turn of the wipers and it will take up to a minute for them to start working,other times they work fine and then still other times they don't work at all. Fluid haven't come out of the pump for the last 4 months at all.
