Definitely needs a headphones/high volume warning for the final test near the end! Nice repair, proof that some repairs are simple fixes and that dealership prices are unwarranted for some fixes.

[@fwflyer78]

Nice work! Smart to repair when able rather than replace!

[@JahanZeb1976]

*Wonderful repair. In old Asian cars there was no electronics inside the wiper motor. Instead a dear with switched contacts was used attached to the motor shaft. Also there was a third carbon brush provided for speed reduction.*

[@skullen2286]

Would love to have seen that head gasket replacement - next time, please! :P Nice repair, as always!

[@norcal715]

If the other one goes i will video it. I only replaced the one bad one!

[@SpeakerFreak95]

Chevy in those years, I swear. Every one of them had bad solder joints in EVERYTHING. Especially those stereos with separate amps.

[@SlickVega]

The 90s Gm digital speedometers were the same way

[@reese8752]

I had a similar problem with a wiper delay module on a Ford truck. It was literally mounted on the emergency brake pedal bracket. Every time you released the emergency brake it hammered the delay module. When I took it out, it had a dozen or more cracked solder joints. When I put it back in I added a ground wire to it and attached the ground to where it originally mounted and wire tied the module to a bundle of wires under the dash.

[@norcal715]

I had a Bronco II that had the same problem years ago.

[@greco37]

Great video, thanks!

[@loco4dogg]

Nice vid, I just finished replacing the wiper multi control switch cause I thought that controlled everything but after a couple days I was right back to square one, didn't know the wipers had their own control board. Going to pull mine off and see if I can see any obvious damage and hopefully there is so I can repair rather than replace the board.

Scotty Kilmer would be proud of you!!

[@giorgostexnikos6976]

nice video.please more of that

[@AshleyAcademy]

Nice truck! Keep up the good work and it will last you a lifetime 👍

[@frankpitochelli6786]

Steve, you know I always give you great feedbacks, I'm just a bit surprised that you didn't remove the old solder and wire brush those contacts then resolder them. You are normally so thorough. However, if it works, then it's all good.

[@whodatdere1]

I felt the same as you when I watched this. The I realize that I do not put as much "attention to detail" regarding my own personal projects vs customers work. Most time I just to a quick and dirty so I can just have it working again.

[@frankpitochelli6786]

@@whodatdere1...true that, I can relate cuz we've all done that, but, I DO try to do as best I can even on my own stuff... Thx for the reply.

[@laszlosworld]

You are super! , many electronics I have repaired with your help. I would love to know the value and part number for the huge diode on the board. That diode cracks in half from wipers being frozen to window by ice and is the most common issue in my Pacific NW city. Thanks and keep up the great vid's and tips!

[@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.

[@mixinginthebox]

Nice ty,I have to catch up on your videos.

[@DavidAmmerlaan]

Nicely accessible

[@forrestlibby9456]

Awesome!

[@TheDigitalAura]

Good job and those blades should be good for at least another 20 years.

[@norcal715]

I just got some cheepees to replace them.

[@mrsemifixit]

What does the dielectric grease do

[@user-mv5bu2kk8b]

Conductive lubricant

[@richardhz-oi8px]

@@user-mv5bu2kk8b It is not conductive, it's an insulator, that's why it's called a di-electric. In this case it is being used to keep the contacts from oxidizing.

[@frankpitochelli6786]

@@richardhz-oi8px ...exactly.!! Well said.

[@norcal715]

It.keeps the oxides from building up in the contacts by blocking the air and contaminates from destroying them.

[@saarike]

Great!

[@Apollo-p1l]

Vibration issue isnt it? Causes havoc with solder joints on large components on automobile circuit boards.

[@bobsoft]

Yes, lead free solder, along with heating cooling, and vibration.

[@bobsoft]

ugh that dry wiper noise. You sure it wasn't an intake gasket? Those engines are notorious for intake gasket, door hinges, fuel pump sending module, wiper pulse control board and ABS control module issues.

[@norcal715]

I replaces the complete upper gasket set when I did the head gaskets

[@radioclinica]

Muito bom....

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

Great repair but (YIKES !) sounds like you are scraping the glass , would wet it 1st or test with wipers off windshield.

[@whodatdere1]

Where is the acetone? SO DISAPPOINTED! (This is sarcasm for those who wouldn't have guessed it)

[@norcal715]

sorry, you do really follow my videos. Thanks!

[@whodatdere1]

@@norcal715 You bet! You inspired me to buy a tin of acetone during the summer. I found that it is very easy to remove the markings of components when I use it to attempt removal of coloured conformal coatings... no matter how careful I am. Any suggestions to prevent that from happening?

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

I think he put some on the paper towel he wiped the insides off with.
