| Description of the problem | Wipers won't power on consistently. In fact now can't seem to get them to come on at all. Tried replacing the multi function turn signal/wiper/washer switch without success. Best guess from research is a failed tipm, which is a major expense and has been the subject of previous class action lawsuits. Fortunately it's winter and i discovered they don't work while sitting in the driveway. Yet some days they have worked. Of late they don't seem to come on at all even with the installation of a new multifunction (on the column) switch referenced above. |
