I have a 2015 silverado 2500 HD and the wipers run at the same speed on low and high. I have searched everywhere and cannot find any information on a fix. I replaced the wiper motor and it did not fix it. The fuse is OK. Anyone have ideas?

Welcome to this forum.  It is unfortunate that you didn't inquire before replacing the motor! ?   I had the same initial thought as duquephart.  but the problem could also be a be a poor  connection or severed wire.   Personally, I'd save myself further aggravation and take it to a pro at a reputable service centre.  He or she will have the proper tools, knowledge, and won't simply guess!

Yes, I know there are bad experiences out there but I've had good luck in finding skilled mechanics.

Its not even skilled, its giving a shit imo. I’d think every career mechanic has enough skill to properly diagnose. It just takes a lot of time.

 

i have never found a mechanic that didnt just replace parts to solve a problem.

 

other than the dealer, which thankfully has a step by step process for diagnosis which works some of the time

FIRST TELL CUSTOMER WE HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM OR EVER HAD ANYONE ELSE COMPLAIN ABOUT IT (even though 5 people come in daily with same complaint)

 

Step #1

TELL CUSTOMER THAT THE TECH CAN’T DUPLICATE PROBLEM

 

Step #2

BLAME PROBLEM (NO MATTER WHAT IT IS) ON ANY/ALL AFTERMARKET/NON GM PARTS INSTALLED ANYWHERE ON VEHICLE

 

Step #3

CONVINCE CUSTOMER THE PROBLEM IS ALL IN THEIR HEAD AND/OR THEIR FAULT AND/OR IMPROPER USE CAUSE THEY DON’T KNOW HOW TO USE THEIR VEHICLE 

 

Step #4

TELL CUSTOMER THAT WE JUST FOUND A NEW TSB FOR PROBLEM AND THAT ALL WE CAN DO IS WHAT IT SAYS TO DO AND THAT’S ALL WE CAN DO CAUSE GM WON’T LET US DO ANYTHING ELSE CAUSE THAT’S ALL WE CAN DO SO THAT IS ALL WE DID CAUSE THAT’S ALL WE CAN DO CAUSE THAT’S WHAT IT SAYS TO DO

 

Step #5 

IF HOURLY EMPLOYEE SIP “FREE” COFFEE AND ENJOY A “CUSTOMER WAITING ROOM” DONUT WHILE STARING AT THE CLOCK WAITING FOR LUNCH/END OF DAY TO COME

IF FLAT RATE EMPLOYEE LOOK FOR OTHER EMPLOYMENT ON JOB SEARCH SITES CAUSE YOU AIN’T MAKING ANY MONEY HERE AND NEVER WILL AT .0005 OF AN HOUR FOR DIAGNOSTIC “BOOK” TIME

 

Step #6

WHEN CUSTOMER LEAVES MAD AFTER 4TH VISIT FOR FAILED REPAIR SEND INTERNAL REFERRAL TO SALES DEPARTMENT TO MAKE COURTESY CALL TO CUSTOMER USING EITHER “WE HAVE A CUSTOMER LOOKING FOR YOUR EXACT SAME VEHICLE IF YOUR INTERESTED IN TRADING YOURS IN” LINE OR “WE HAVE EXCELLENT INCENTIVES AND NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY A NEW ONE” LINE

 

Step #7

WONDER WHY CUSTOMERS HATE COMING HERE...

I also replaced the switch and it did not solve the problem. I refuse to take it to the dealer because they already screwed me once when I bought the truck so I will continue to troubleshoot it on my own.

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
