1998 CHEVY BLAZER - WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK SPORADICALLY. WILL SOMETIMES STOP WORKING WHILE ON, AND WILL SOMETIMES NOT TURN ON WHEN NEEDED. THEY SEEM TO GIVE PROBLEMS WHEN IT IS RAINING, AND USUALLY WORK FINE IF TRIED WHEN IT IS NOT RAINING. MAY BE A WIRING MOISTURE PROBLEM? PROBLEM IS NOT JUST ONE OCCURENCE... IS CONTINUOUS. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON MY 1998 BLAZER THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD WORK INTERMITTENTLY. MY HUSBAND WOULD WIGGLE THE WIRING HARNESS AND THEY WOULD START UP AGAIN BUT ONLY FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME (USUALLY MINUTES). CHEVROLET MORAN 586-791-1010 SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE CIRCUIT BOARD. *NLM

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL CUT OFF BY IT SELF. THIS HAS LEFT ME TRYING TO FIND AN EXIT ON THE FREEWAY IN HEAVY RAIN WHEN I CANNOT SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD. AT TIMES THEY WILL NOT COME ON AND I MUST LIFT THE HOOD AND MOVE WIRES AROUND. GM HAS. *AK RECALLED UP TO 1997 BUT NOT 1998. MY LOCAL DEALER TELLS ME THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 1998. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
VEHICLE SHUT DOWN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON INTERSTATE AT 60 MPH,HAD TO DRIFT TO SIDE OF ROAD, PANEL LIGHTS CAME ON INCLUDING SECURITY LIGHT, WOULD NOT RESTART.HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER WHO CHECKED IT OUT NEXT MORNING. STARTED RIGHT UP AND COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG.*AK HAD HAPPENED BEFORE BUT OCCURED IN PARKING LOT AND STARTED BACK UP. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN IT OCCURS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. NO ENGINE, LOSS OF POWER STEERING ETC. HAVE SEEN MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON INTERNET AND HAVE HEARD OF OTHERS. NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE AN ANSWER, INCLUDING DEALER. WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE MAY HAVE BEEN KILLED BY THIS BUT ARE NOT AROUND TO TELL WHAT HAPPENED. ALL I WANT IS TO HAVE IT FIXED.

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR FAILURES SIMILAR TO OTHERS LISTED. WHEN TURNING WIPERS ON IN ANY DELAY SETTING OR CONTINUOUS SLOW, THE WIPERS WOULD QUIT AT RANDOM TIMES. SOMETIMES MOVING SWITCH TO CONTINUOUS HIGH WOULD GET WIPERS TO WORK AGAIN. SOMETIMES NOT. ALSO WIPERS, WHEN TURNED OFF WOULD GO TO BOTTOM OF SWIPE AND COME BACK UP 1 INCH. I HAVE SINCE TAKEN OUT THE RELAY CIRCUIT BOARD AND RESOLDERED CONNECTORS TO THE WIRING HARNESS AND FIXED A PARTIALLY BURNED OUT CIRCUIT. WIPERS WORK FINE AFTER.*AK
