Can a low speed wiper work on a Chevy truck?
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 causes the intermittent wiper to stop working?
If you make a change in the settings and the wipers don’t react, it’s most likely due to a malfunction in the intermittent wiper relay. This can lead to a potentially unsafe driving situation as sometimes we encounter weather conditions that require the use of the intermittent switch.
When do I Know my wiper relay is bad?
One of the quickest indicators that a problem exists with the intermittent wiper relay is when the wipers are not intermittent and only work at one speed. The relay switch sends an electrical signal to the module that controls the operation of the wiper motor and gears inside.
Why does my cruise control wiper only work on high?
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. That led me to believe it was the pulse motor control. I took the motor cover off. took the circuit board out and soldered about ten of the largest connections.
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.
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.
How can I get my windshield wipers to work?
Trace the ground wire from the motor to its mounting point, then scour both the underside of the connector and the mounting point on the chassis with very course sandpaper — 60-grit or heavier is recommended — then replace, ensuring the fastener is securely tightened.
What kind of wiper does a Chevy truck use?
Seems the earlier trucks had a weak point at the pulse motor controller. 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.

Why does my windshield wiper only work at high speed?
Diagnosis can be time-consuming, but it is not complex and requires only one tool. That the motor operates at one speed confirms power to the switch is good, but the switch itself could have failed. Use a multimeter bridged between the upstream supply and each of the contacts while operating the switch.

Why does my high speed wiper still work?
That the high speed — the least frequently used — selector still works suggests the tension has gone from the low and intermediate speed contacts. If they can be accessed and bent to create more tension this is a temporary fix at best; replace the switch. Having ascertained that the switch is good, test the wiring harness.

Is there a ground wire for a windshield wiper?
Most wiper motors have a dedicated ground wire in their harness, however some utilize the bolts securing them to the body as a ground.
