Default Intermittant wipers quit

The other functions still work, but the intermittant function quit. Any ideas? Could it be a bad switch, or is there more involved?

Thanks,
Nick

Nick,

Did they work since you pulled the dash apart last December? Just saying that because it's possible you might have moved a wire or two that has something to do with the wipers.

There's only one fuse (No #15) for the whole wiper system. According to the Chassis Electrical System diagram for the wiper system, the intermittent wiper system is built into the wiper stalk. It's possible it's burnt out just like the Multi-function stalk (other side of the steering column) did for many owners.

Thanks for the input! Where is a good place to buy PT parts online?

Nick,

Before I suggest a place, I want you to be sure the wiper switch is the bad part. My responses are the best of my knowledge as to what's wrong but you should get a second opinion and especially a professional opinion before buying parts.

I looked it up, the switch fits 01-05 cruisers and it's $87+ but your the first one I've come across to have this problem, so it's not like the fan motor where I've told countless owners they need one.

I've dealt with Auto Parts Fast at RockAuto for lots of parts without a problem but do your own checking, even local stores like NAPA and Auto Zone might have them at different prices.

At RockAuto it's: Airtex Part # 1S2130

Thanks - I will research further, but it is good to have an online source to at least price check parts.
