Did you check the circuit board? there is a tech article explaining a problem and fix on some of the boards.

just take the fuse out until it rains or whenever you need to use your wipers and oh yeah be sure and leave the fuse out till the ice turns to water

I would love to know how this issue was resolved. Currently, I have the same problem. I have looked in the tech articles and didn't see anything.

 

Thanks

this was my problem. this little site helped me fix it too! i was amazed that re-soldering the raceways on the circuit board actually fixed it!!!! hope this helps...

I had the exact same problem on my 1993 W/T 1500, and this problem seems to be inherent to many year models of Chevys with this type of wiper motor. My wipers started to work only intermittently on low, sometimes not at all, and would only run continuously on high. If you don't want to go the route of trying to repair the pulse board with the solder fix, you can just buy a new pulse board at most any auto parts store.

 

I think I paid $25 or $30 for a new pulse board. Put it in, and wipers have worked flawlessly since. Good luck.
