Why do my front wipers only work on high speed?
Why do my front wipers only work on high speed?
On my 2011 Buick Enclave my problem was the front wipers only worked on high speed. The washer and quick wipe were OK. The local Buick dealer service dept made the fix. Replaced the multi function switch. Part and labor ran $250.81. Now all is OK. My Duramax had the ‘hi speed only’ issue and after research, I gambled on the stalk assembly.
Can a low speed wiper work on a Chevy truck?
The newer trucks seem to have gremlins at the multi switch (turn cruise wipe etc.) Everything works properly on my truck except slow wipe, intermittant wipe and wash. Cruise control high beams turn signals and wipe all work when they are turned on and do not work when they are off, just no low speed, intermittant wipe or wash.
What are the symptoms of a bad intermittent wiper relay?

What kind of motor does a windshield wiper use?
Windshield wipers are powered by a motor that receives 12-volt power through a switched wire. Complete failure of the wipers to work can be a complicated troubleshoot, but working with a motor that still runs on one speed is less challenging. Diagnosis can be time-consuming, but it is not complex and requires only one tool.
How is the speed of the wiper motor controlled?
The wiper motor speed is controlled by current flow to either the low speed or the high speed set of brushes. The park switch is a single pole, single throw, momentary switch within the wiper motor that is mechanically actuated by the wiper motor transmission components.
