My new project!, 99 silverado 4x4 3 door

Hi,

Haven't been on the forum long, just purchased my chevy recently. The truck is in great shape for having 200,000 on the dial. No major issues just small ones, I have one that is funny as heck but driving me nuts! The windshield washer stopped working suddenly, I checked the fuse (it was fine). I decided that i would by a new pump, after a frustrating two hours I got it in, still not working. Stay with me now lol. I then decided to change the module. I got it in and the truck put back together and guess what?? not working!!! As I sat dejected in the seat, for some reason i mistakenly hit the left turn indicator and said "what the f", i hit the washer switch and out comes the washing fluid!!!! The damn thing only works when the left indicator is on!!!!!! any ideas on what the heck is going on?? Thanks!, I'll be the idiot you're following with his left blinker on when there is no turn!! :-)

Sounds like a crossed wire somewhere in the turn signal stem. I'd pick up a repair manual for your truck and get the instruction of how to get in there and see if you can find any broken or melted wires.

Now the wipers only work on high or low! Im beginning to believe Im going to have to change the whole steering column cluster!, DAMN!

My turn signal use to activate my horn. So every time it would go "tick" when it blinked it would honk. MAde for some funny times haha. Replaced the whole blinker handle assembly. Wasn't to hard to do.

I bit the bullet and just ordered the multi function switch. With my luck the wipers would finally quit.............in the middle of a downpour lol

Welcome. I had a 99 and loved it.

I just replaced the multi-funtion switch, the washer now works without turning on the left turn signal lol. Bad news is The intermittent wiper function doesn't work right nor do the wipers activate when i push the washer switch on. I replaced the wiper module last month so I know that works. the intermittent wipers work every third or fourth time I start the vehicle and once in a while the dash lights go out, the battery light comes on and the seat belt light glows, all of this for maybe a second or two. I am wondering if maybe the ignition switch is bad??. Chasing electrical problems is a royal pain!! thanks for any and all suggestions....
