What 1993 Chevrolet C3500 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Windshield wipers quit working .I had to put pressure on harness connector with bunge cord or prop stick behind motor to put pressure on unit in order to work. Then they only operated when they wanted to. Most any time when a driver uses the wipers it is when they are needed, (rain, bad weather & the like), and it's an accident waiting to happen. Doesn't gm realize this complaint could result in accident,( hopeful not a fatality). I had control module replaced on face of wiper motor and wipers now work as intended. Module cost me $29.00 and less than 5 minutes to replace. Just 3 small screws and unplug / plug harness connector. My complaint is not for reimbursement now that I've got wipers working. Please ---someone do something to make gm stand behind the standards for safety before someone does get killed or kill someone else. This started around 2004 or 2005 and had been a problem until I replaced the part.
