WIPERS WON'T TURN OFF? THIS IS THE FIX!

[@jitkafarina3841]

Just a quick note. When I started my jeep wipers went on on their own and I could not turn them off. At the same time my turn signals also stopped working. I called a mechanic friend of mine and he said before bringing it in, try disconnecting the battery, wait 5 minutes and connect the battery again to 'reboot' the system. I was very happy when all problems were solved and have had no problems since. Likely saved big money if I had brought it to a shop so it's worth a try. Good luck!

[@CitKat657]

This worked for my 1990 Silverado k1500. A 5 minute battery disconnect seems to have taken my wipers out of crazy mind of their own mode, back to normal. Thank you!!!!!

[@MrEyad1990]

your videos are actually entertaining to watch , i dont know why but i really like them , short , great quality , and most important working on an old everyone got one cars . keep them up , great work .

[@1RoadGarage]

+Eyad Jam Thanks!!

[@eddevarona8448]

Thank you. Although mine is an ‘04 Silverado, the process was very similar. A couple of minor differences but those made mine slightly easier. I received the wrong part, so I’ll have to wait til Sunday to reinstall the new one. I wouldn’t have even attempted this project except for your excellent detailed video. Thanks again.

[@1RoadGarage]

Love to hear stuff like this. Good luck on your fix!

[@johndimech8945]

My 1997 Silverado had the same issue many years ago. It was a cold solder joint issue. It took longer to heat the soldering iron up then it was to fix it. The broken solder joint just needed to be reheated. The issue was with one of the three solder connections located top left of the image at the 5:30 mark of this video. If you use a magnifying glass you should be able to spot the broken one. Thin crack that encircles the soldered post. Or just reheat all three. The issue I had and repaired was 20 years ago. No problems since . . . with the wipers that is 🙂

sometimes its the multi switch on the steering column

[@mrstanskaggs1]

The grease on top of the round gear should be dielectric grease (bulb grease).. Thre are two contacts on that wheel which those two fingers contact with. If you get a big wad of grease in between them, you might see some issues come up.. Those contacts are the timing circuity sensor for knowing that the wipers made it back home position again... Great video here. I would have liked to see inside the box though (gear part and how it was greased).. thanks!

[@hpmacmurray]

2000 suburban. Changed out the transmission assembly and found out about this part. Thought it was all in the knob on the column. Not on the motor... I'm glad because column disassembly is a tougher job. Hope it works.

[@VanisleNSX]

Good job, Jimmy. I have watched you do a lot of car repairs over the years of following you on KZbin. I believe the first one was the brake job on the Mercedes back in California....

[@1RoadGarage]

+VanisleNSX nice! Thanks for keeping up!! Seriously appreciate.

[@MrDaiseymay]

Excellent, very well described, with good clear instruction and filming. My problem is that the wiper's won't turn off, from any speed, but this vid gives me the confidence to give it a go.

[@TheGuitar1962]

Philip Croft same here. Thanks for the instruction.

[@TheGuitar1962]

Chris Farley yes it was the wiper module. Replaced and working

[@bobsoft]

FYI-The board needs to be pulled out of the enclosure and flipped over to see the failed solder joints. It usually fails around the plug area due to flexing of the board.

Good for u. I did same and they are still on

Im having issues with wipers not turning off. The wipers cycle threw the speed when you turn the switch but wont turn off. I currently have the fuse off to stop the wipers. Any suggestions?

[@diegohuijbregtsgarcia5102]

Could it be the same issue on a 87 Chevy Caprice? Seems to stop sometimes, but always goes crazy somewhere along the way

[@thatboidavid2982]

I got an 88 caprice , Did you get your issue fixed ?

[@Johdan14]

What abt the rear wipers?

Do you know where the wiper relay is located? I think he is the problem, won't my windshield wipers turn off?

[@jeffwatson151]

hello I have a 2005 navigator and i'm getting pretty pissed because one shop told me that my wipers quit because I needed a fusebox i'm not a mechanic but everything else worked so why would I need a fuse box another shop tested for power at the wiper motor he says it's getting power but not from the fuse box so I replaced the fuse box still no wipers any suggestions? this is very dangerous. any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@kennymartin379]

What was that part number

[@paulwidomski8608]

My wipers can be turned on but not off also. i will be doing the pulse board when it arrives. Thx for the vid!!

[@kodakmatt4208]

I have a 03 Monte Carlo SS, I cut my car in this morning to warm it up and all of a sudden my wipers turned on and went full speed, it did it multiple times but would cut off if I used the button. Now they won’t go down in their cubby when they’re not in use. Is it the pulse board???

[@jjmoore1043]

Gotta send a big thank you! to 1Road for this post. I just fixed my 2003 suburban wiper issue with this very fix. Much appreciated!!!!!

[@BGittins1]

Hi, it is not wise to use silastic to seal electrical enclosures unless it is the special ammonia free type ... ammonia corrodes copper and brass and will destroy electrical equipment when utilised in gaskets.

[@RYTHMICRIOT]

This just happened to my 2003 tahoe. I realized my foglights weren't working the other day and suspected it might be the relay so I swapped the relay with wiper relay of the same part number. My lights still didn't work and it ended up being bad bulbs. It just found it odd that both bulbs would be out simultaneously. Anyway, the next day I have this wiper issue. I think my disturbing the relay may have been just enough to irritate my pulse board enough to cause the solder to fail.

[@MikhailSkulls]

My 95 has a incomplete recall for this. Not sure if my local dealer with want to fix a 20 year old recall.

[@mr.sledhead6407]

Why does my rear wiper only do interval even on regular speed. Please help

[@torres3800]

What a day in age we live in. Just to imagine having this much information when I used to work at a Chevy dealer. Do people use service manuals anymore? LoL Great video btw.

[@eyermolochis6707]

I have the some problem only that mine the water washer do not spray on the window it does it only when he wants to

[@aliciamarston5870]

I already replaced my wiper motor and it worked a few days and now I replaced my wiper/signal switch in my 5.0 2011 mustang and it's still doing the same stuff. What else could it be?

[@Dog0fWar11]

Did you ever figure out your issue? My SN95 GT wipers stay on medium no matter what they’re set to except for max speed. When they’re set to max, they go fast af. The wiper fuckery is the last thing I need to figure out so I can get my car legal, it’s been like 6 months 😭

[@ricktaylor3748]

I had this same problem. Do NOT buy anything but AC Delco parts. I foolishly bought an aftermarket ~ Dorman circuit board, it lasted three weeks, and my wipers stay on.

[@quavolaz6826]

I have a simular problem in my vw polo 6n! The wipers have a life of their own! Sometimes they turn on while using the blinkers and sometimes they just turn on from nowhere! it effort from you moving the breaker to the on and off position back and fourth until they stop and then start 2 minutes later

So I have a 2006 Infiniti g35, my wipers are going crazy they won’t turn off but they do sometimes then they start back up turn on and off and also it stays on the same speed can this be the same issue or the motor? I opened up and heard the motor it made a sound almost like if it didn’t want to give much power but now I’m wondering if it could be this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@jacquesroux9319]

I have the same problem on my 2008 Nissan Frontier. There doesn’t seem to be pulse board on the motor, I don’t know if it’s built into the motor. In that case replacing the motor might fix it.Any luck finding a solution on your Infiniti?

[@larrytemen4789]

It’s been 4 years. Are you gonna upload the video taking the pulse board apart and seeing what was wrong with it? You said “stay tuned to see what was wrong with it” and I’m getting old bro. Hurry up 😂😂😂

[@HowardBaileyMusic]

I thought I had the same problem...windshield wipers wouldn't turn off. They ran at fast speed until I turn the key off (strangely enough they sometimes turned off when my revs were low but when I stepped on the gas they would start up again - full speed)... Sooo... before I could change the motor it burned out from being on for a week. Whoops! I switched out the motor which came with a new pulse regulator onboard but... they are still running. Seem to have two speeds this time but they are still not turning off. Steering Column switch?

Btw I don't have a new body style yukon or tahoe but I've seen a few issues with the 5.3 engines. There's a oring on the oil pick up screen that can go bad and you loose oil pressure. Just letting you know if you don't keep an eye on it.

Did GM fix the o-ring oil pan pickup issue in the 5.3?

[@sneakysnakepie1]

@@PrimalMiltos I think it all depends on age of the gasket if it hasn't been changed.

[@PrimalMiltos]

@@sneakysnakepie1 No, it all depends on the material and the design of such a critical system. The engine's oil pickup should not be a concern for at least 500000 miles unless there is a flaw. Hopefully GM improved its reliability in later versions of the LS motor.
