My wipers worked intermittently. If I grabbed the blakes, and shook them, they would usually start working again. They would sometimes just stop working in a rain down pour. Very danagerous!!!! I understand that there was a recall put out on most chevy p/u's and utility vehicles. It looks like all but my 1995 c1500. Surely they all have they same wiper system components as mine (at least the tahoe and surburban). Was mine not recalled because of some bean count or is it infact different than the others? I do know there are other folks who have the same make and model as mine with the same problem. I have also gotten conflicting stories. My delearship says there is no recall on mine vehicle, but a website (www.alldata.com) says there is. I called a 1-800 number for chevrolet, and they told me I would have to contact my dealership.

For the past year the windshield wipers have occasionally failed to operate when needed. I have been able to play with the switch or tap the module cover to make them operate. This happened only a few times until recently when they began to fail on a regular basis. I was informed by a friend who owns a similar truck that there was a recall on the wiper control module for certain '94-'96 model chevrolet trucks. However, my VIN number was not included in this recall. I had repairs made at century chevrolet, bloomington, il. Which were the same as those done for the recall, but mine were not done at no cost to me. I am reporting that this recall does not cover enough of the models during this time frame as I know others, including myself, who are not covered by the recall yet experience the same problem. This defect should be fixed for free for all owners of '94-'96 model year chevrolet trucks.
