The windshield wipers have only worked intermittently whenever they are run. In the heaviest rain you cannot count on them and sometimes they won't come on at all. This is very dangerous problem when they quit working in the middle of the road in the middle of a rain. They have not made it a whole trip in the rain and stayed working- always only intermittent. Sometimes you just have to pull over until they decide to come on again.

My truck has 70,000 miles and it has problems with the windshield wipers. This has been going on for a couple of years. You can hit on the inside of the motor and it will start working. I can be driving and all of a sudden they will quit. I have noticed that a lot of people have this problem.

Had a problem with windshield wipers not working or working intermittently. I found problem to be the electrical plug on wiper motor circuit board to have fractured soldier connections. Resoldier connections cure problem.
