How to Fix GM Windshield Wiper Motor EASY! | 1988-1998 Chevy Silverado

[@MidwestGarage]

My apologies, the part is closer to $20, not $10...but still cheaper and A LOT easier than replacing a $50 motor! Thank you all for the support!

[@waikikiwonder2505]

not a problem,,,I just bought that part for $18 here in Hawaii. My wipers are back in action again thanks to your video

[@FatDaddyankee69]

Hey bud,, How would I look for it on Amazon?.

[@rhw6033]

Motor cost more than the board and an easier fix

[@cwk1981]

@@FatDaddyankee69 all i did was typed in my make model and year then wiper motor. the board popped right up

[@jboysmusic4life]

Thank you! Very informative!

[@JerryKaczkaBackup]

I searched around the Internet looking for a solution to this problem. You were spot-on with everything you took the time to lay out step-by-step and even described the tools needed to do the work so my problem under 10 minutes with a new circuit board thank you so much.

[@CesarDuran-dy1xd]

I personally appreciated your video. It was the first video I saw related to my problem and the video got me started. 10/2/2023

[@rickreese5794]

💯👍

[@TrentEly]

I was frustrated watching some other videos, no one gets to the point. This is the first I've seen of your posts, I went straight to the subscribe button. Thank you and I'll get a chance to look at my friend/bosses 88 van after church today. Thanks

[@paulgustafson8895]

My '97 K1500 did the same thing for the first time today (in the rain, of course). I researched the symptoms, found it's a common problem, then found your video. I'll be changing that board after a quick trip to my local auto parts store tomorrow. Thanks for the help!

[@funchfries]

I looked around the internet for what my issue was (my wipers would always engage, but would turn off only after fiddling with the control, or randomly. My washer fluid also would no longer spray.) I think this was the best reference I could find, and having seen how dirty and busted my OEM panel was, no wonder it was finnicky. Subscribed!

[@stephenwrkmn]

Same here in my 97 GMC. Getting this along with a new electric connector.

[@andyprice4696]

Fixed my wipers on my 94 Silverado. Got a new board at oreillys for $21 bucks. Took all of about 10 minutes. Spot on with the directions. Good video! Thank you.

[@shravaka6241]

I have a 92 Chevy G20 conversion Van and my wipers are doing "EXACTLY" what you were describing... Works during dry weather, and will freaking go inop in the rain! Crazy... Will definitely pick up the circuit board and get that replaced ASAP. Thank you BIG TIME!!!!

[@Luke-zj3jr]

I’m so happy I stumbled across this video this is exactly what is going on with my 98. I find it hilarious and relatable how you go to show the issue and it’s working, been there too, it only works on nice sunny days not for the rainstorms thanks for the fix will be testing it out this week.

[@PatMcCrotch22]

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. My wipers ONLY work when the windshield is dry!

[@jakerose1203]

Im having a similar problem on my 95 Sierra. I can push them a little and they'll start working. But yeah they work sometimes but not when I need them

[@dirtbooger1]

Link to the part still worked, purchased the part. Installed it today. Wipers still work! Now just have to see if the issue is resolved. 1997 Chevy Silverado. Thanks for the video!

[@cinnamons10]

I am glad you posted this video. I have a 1996 Chevy 1500 conversion van and I was told the motor needed to be replaced. I ordered the motor and while waiting on it to be delivered I started to work on accessing the motor. I couldn't get the wiper arms to come off the bolt after removing the nut. It looks like they are attached to a bar that the wiper motor is attached to which I decided was too big a job for me. I looked at this video again and decided I would look at the computer board to see if a problem. There were not any broken circuits but there was a lot of grease build up so I figured I would clean it off and see if that resolved the issue. They now work so I am hoping that fixed it. I will probably return the wiper motor for now which will save me some money for now.

[@ericdiefel4505]

You rock! I was getting ready to replace my windshield wiper motor. Then i came across your video. $15 and 10 minutes later and i have wipers. Thanks!

[@danielwood3934]

Thanks so much for helping a non mechanic fix my wipers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dororo3118]

This fixed my problems. I had only high wipers and washer spray when I got my truck. And you'd have to time when you turned em off to get I'm all the way down. My washer spray randomly stopped working. After a pump swap it still didn't work. Looked at the board and had a cap that was split in 2 and laying in the housing. After swapping the board everything is back to normal and all setting and spray work! Can't thank you enough for this tutorial.

[@Mark59236]

One of the best videos I've relied on, with good clarity and great commentary. Working on a very nice 97 Silverado that was sitting 11 years with a few minor problems, like the wipers, transmission shif solinoid and fuel pump that I have addresses. Your video and explainations really helped me, rather than take out the motor and go from scratch blindly. Thank you! I subscribed.

[@radwild2310]

Nailed it, easy to understand, fast to watch, no endless explanation and down to business... Thanks a lot... It was driving me crazy... But of course I have Subscribed... Cheers from Venezuela.

[@edroush2009]

A new board is a lot easier to replace than a motor assembly for sure. Thanks for the video 1997 Chevy truck, 225,000 miles Ed

[@angelovastano5119]

Hey your video helped me. Didn't even have to buy one. Just pulled the board out and cleaned the two prong contacts with a light file. Worked perfectly afterwards. Thanks for the video.

[@teo8424]

Best video on wiper intermittent problems. Will try this in the morning Thanks

[@gofast3209]

Have a 94 gmc sierra. Thought it was the motor. Watch a few other videos on how to replace the motor. Then i found this video and this is exactly my problem!! Thank for the vid!!!

[@sumbigch]

They do work when it's dry. When it rains who knows. The worst part is regardless of rain or shine once mine start they won't stop. Usually stop mid-swipe 15 minutes later. Apreciate you brother!

[@adamburgins441]

I've got a 90 GT Safari. This issue has been happening to me for over the past year. I've owned it for a little over 2 years. After watching this video I'm going to go ahead and try this. I might just go to the pulley yard and get myself another circuit off of a salvage 👌💯 Thanks for the straightforward easy video

[@502Chevy]

Thank you for this great how to. Now I can fix my wipers and not dread rainy days!

[@wierdbeard107]

Dude, thank you so much! 99% sure this is my problem and I haven't found a worthwhile explanation of how to fix it until now. Thanks a ton!

[@Mike..M]

What is the problem you're experiencing? My wipers were very erratic and my washer fluid didn't work. I figured out a free fix and now they work perfect.

[@randallyoung402]

Your video was right on ! My wife's 98 silverado was doing the same thing. Board was $ 27 at a local part store. Tks !

[@matthewhackney1623]

Thank you for the video I was having the same issue and your video helped me get my wipers going again

[@liannebennett5264]

Thank you so much! My truck is a 2000 Chevy C2500 (old body style like the1999s) and the problem was the windshield washer. It worked intermittently and finally not at all. Your very helpful video helped me fix it with the new circuit board. I looked at other videos, yours was the helpful one.

[@size-matters]

Thanks for the video. Just ordered one through your link. $13.00. A1 Online wanted $54 for the same thing. Both made by Dorman.

[@tanyah2524]

Update: I decided to just replace the circuit board with a new one. In January 01 I found this part on eBay. It was $9.99 and free shipping. Install was easy and my wipers work great. Thanks for this video. My wipers are doing exactly the same thing. I'm just going to buy a new circuit board.

[@stevenyates2414]

9😅

[@techfixer1543]

Huge thanks brother! My 1998 Chevy Blazer's wipers started motion stuttering (stop/go), what seemed random. Then stopped working. So, I bought the Dorman pulse circuit board ($17) from Clark's Auto Parts. Installed, just like you showed, and wham-O! My wipers now work. I'm sure glad it wasn't the motor (which was my first thought)....again brother huge thanks! Stay healthy!

[@rodzent]

Thanks for the video. I have the problem of the wipers not turning off. This looks like a simple fix and I will order a new board. Great information even if the video is 4 years old. Again, many thanks. I am refurbishing my old 94 S10.

[@calavanting]

I just purchased a 1997 express 2500 van. The windshield wiper works on fast but not slow. Going to try out the circuit port switch. Thanks for making it easy.

[@phonyphoneguy]

Thank you! I was expecting something much more complicated

[@richardgioffreda6541]

Good video. I'm sure you saved a lot of people time and money. Thank you.

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks! I needed to buy a new board.

[@alecjacobsen6710]

awesome content there are not alot of these in Australia so your videos are sweet!

[@matthewrusch477]

Subscribed. I have a 1998 Suburban doing the exact same thing. I'll be checking out this circuit board first. Thank you!

[@robertwilson4400]

Great video down to earth to the point. looking forward to watching more of your videos

[@catfish6138]

I've got a '96 Silverado that has had the sketchy wiper thing going on at various times (incl NOW) and I always took it to the garage but this is absolutely do-able and I'm handy with a soldering iron as well if that's the case. Gonna take a look under the hood tomorrow!

[@stephaniebosche5657]

Thanks for making the instructions so easy to follow! You explained it so well! Got mine changed, this morning! 🙌

[@curtfox6482]

Thank you. My wipers stopped. And I googled it.

[@zxJC34xz]

This definitely helps ! My 96 does the same exact thing and the wipers basically work when they feel like it ! lol Thanks man

[@MidwestGarage]

No problem man, I'm glad I could help!

[@codybaird989]

You just saved me about $200! Thank you!

[@mwstanley90]

I wish I would of seen this before I bought the new wiper motor lol. But I put the new circuit board on and it works great! Thanks!

[@dmanuelflores9185]

Thank you sir. Been going crazy trying to find out why my wipers were being so temperamental.

[@nomadicfenceman509]

Your video is still working today 07/07/23 I watched a couple before yours… they didn’t even mention the plug in on the back, critical to know. Thanks!

[@michaeldaughtry5911]

Was my problem on 98 Tahoe. Thanks man👍

[@julielara4228]

Thanks for your video! I just ordered it July 2024 from AMAZON. It was $14+ fingers crossed 🤞

[@crowznest438]

Subbed; this is exactly the issue with my '94 GMC.

[@truebeliever5233]

Thank you for the video gonna try it as soon as I can figure out that 4.3 distributor.

[@racer4200]

Thanks for this! Gonna fix my issue finally. Subbed

[@jonnyvicfan]

OMG!! Thank you so much. I imported my 98 CK to England last year. It belonged to my cousin in Iowa, so I knew the truck had been well looked after. The wipers stopped working yesterday. After lots of research and realising I would need to order from the U.S if need be, I came across your video. It was as simple as spraying on some contact cleaner on all points. It works fine now. Thank you again. I'll probably start collecting some of these parts next time I'm over there to bring back with me 👍

[@5464348643]

Thanks for saving me the trouble of figuring this out for myself! Ordered replacement with your affiliate link.

[@pvaughn4432]

Thank you! '98 Chevy Silverado - wipers intermittently worked, but not when I needed them most. Was quoted $300, but I simply replaced the circuit board myself and I'm back in business. Thank again!!!

[@benjaminmahin4551]

Great vid. My washer pump was intermittent for a month. √

[@linwoodstalls1704]

Gonna try it on my '91 Silverado. Thanks!

[@Griede26]

thanks. i have weak starting wipers. When i turn the switch on, i can hear the motor whirring but i have to wiggle the wiper arms to get them working. im going to try out the circuit board like you suggested.

Excellent self help video. I have subscribed.

Thanks for the video, i am having that same problem. I will check that out.

[@ronpride6616]

Thank You for taking the time to help others ! Thanks for posting the link to Amazon for the part. It was $18 and I replaced the board on my 1995 Chevy Silverado. It fixed the problem :) I have another problem with my Chevy, is the horn. It will blow sometimes when I turn the steering wheel. It is embarrassing. People would think I was honking my horn at them. I didn't know what to do, so I installed another horn and placed the button on the dash and disabled the regular horn by unplugging the relay. Would you be able to solve the problem with the steering wheel horn? Thanks !!!

[@moneypenni1694]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH! New sub here....My 98 Jimmy wipers stopped working 2 nites ago, & of course it was raining.....sigh....I really wasn't very enthusiastic about taking it to a garage to see what the problem was...LOL! I think I can get it from here. ..:-}

[@billharris3049]

I haven't experienced this problem before, however I will have the knowledge when/if it occurs on my 1995 GMC...good video.

Thank you for the comment!

Definitely helped. Thanks dude

[@dewey7524]

One thing I learned on my fix The two contacts that touch the rotor needed bending to make better contact

[@danglinforya5773]

Great vid bruh, in the future please inform us to put some ear plugs in for the squealing lmao, also really enjoyed the humor that was added, keep up the good work 😁

[@edgardomatos6923]

thk u. I'm getting trouble with mine as well. seems like an ez fix.

[@dougforcht1598]

Great video I am having a different problem, I have a 88 chevy with w/o delay wipers and someone has installed a used steering column with a delay wiper switch in it. I am considering trying to convert it to delay wipers if its not to expensive

[@moneypenni1694]

I have a 1998 Jimmy SLR.....After 6 yrs of not working, today, WHILE THE CAR WAS OFF..... all of sudden the rear windshield wiper came on....the switch in the dash did nothing to stop it, so I pulled the fuse for the RRWW & nope, that didn't work either, had to pull the cable from my battery....any suggestions on what might possibly be the culprit here & any advise on how to fix it would be greatly appreciated, thank you. BTW this vid helped me a yr ago when I was having having a problem with my front wipers...so hoping you can give me some advise on the rear one..

[@jacobmcduffie9224]

I'm having an issue with this. I'm suspecting I have a short in the wires on the other side of the plug but looking at this video it may be the board. Ty

[@adriantomlin2902]

Thanks for this video brother!! My wiper will work when they feel like it. Then the delay doesn't work all the time. So I'm guessing it's the circuit board.
