Wiper Issues

[WALLSGS]

First time on this forum, but it seemed like there were a lot of Chevy Truck experts, that may be able to offer some advice on this little issue. I have a 2003 K2500 HD w/Duramax-Allison drivetrain. I first found the problem when I attempted to wash the windshield. The wipers would not turn off. The intermittant wipers do not function as needed. If you turn the wipers on, the speed selection part of the switch works fine. I assume that is something in a relay or circuit board. The wipers are just intent on running. Does anyaone have any experience with this problem? How do you repair it? What's the cost? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

I would assume its the multi function switch. IIRC thery are 'bout $100. To replace the air bag and steering wheel need to be removed.

Hi there and welcome to GM Truck!

 

I had a similar thing happen on my '97. The problem was the multi-switch (wipers/cruise control/turning indicators).

 

The part itself isn't too expensive, however replacing it is a pain.

 

It could also be the control board with the wiper motor.

If they stay running I would believe its the switch but if you got the motor and board combo wet and then it messed up it could be they board is shorted.
