Every time I start the 2014 Silverado LTZ the wipers make one swipe. This started as an intermittent issue, I could cycle the wipers and they would return to home position and work as they should. Occasionally the wipers would be slightly above the home position as though they were in intermittent mode. If I cycled them a few times they would return to home position. Now they are always slightly above the home position no matter what I do. Any suggestions on how to get this resolved? -
Yesterday was my first time driving my truck in snow and my wiper blades froze to the windshield. It wasn't snowing real hard, and it's garage kept, so I started with a clean windshield. The whole defroster and wiper design is terrible. The defroster vent sits high on the dashboard, so it misses the lower few inches. But then the wipers sit so low on the windshield that it is actually below where the windshield and dashboard meet. So even if the defroster did blow lower, the dashboard still blocks the air from getting down there. There is no way I see to heat that part of the windshield or the wipers. You can see it in the pic. Luckily I was close to home, but I would think on a longer trip the only way to take care of it would be to pull over and spray de-icer on it or clear it by hand. But even when it did come free, the wipers worked for crap because they were frozen solid. The only other thing I can think of is installing some kind of defogger strips like the rear windows have, but I don't see anything like that online. I felt it was such a safety issue I filed a complaint with NHTSA. Anyone else have any experience with this and any fixes. My first oil change is coming up so I will be seeing what the dealer says, but I don't see anything they'd be able to do, it the design of the truck that sucks.

Hi: My windshield wipers are running slow and at the same (slow) speed on all settings. Is this a shot wiper motor? If so is it a diy replacement? Thanks in advance. 2014 GMC Sierra SLT

I bought a 1992 K1500 GMC Pickup a few months ago and it had an existing issue with the washer fluid pump in which the seller said it would not turn off, so they removed the fuse for that. But also the wipers only work on either high speed or with a manual push of the washer tab (so they don't work on intermittent or regular low speed). When turned off, they stop wherever they are and do not return to the down position. I have now been in enough highway rain that this situation is bugging me. Does this seem like a problem with just the switch in the arm, or is it likely all of the way back to where the harness for that plugs in under the dash or even farther? (A lot more labor to get the whole harness out.) Any idea how to test to determine where the problem is without removing lots of steering column and dash parts? Thanks, Woodman -
Hello everyone, I have a new body style 2019 Sierra, and lately have been having issues with my wipers not parking at the bottom of the windshield! Seems to be hit and miss, as sometimes they do stop at the bottom. I haven't taken it to the dealer yet due to the service departments being closed in my area, but just wondering if anyone else has had this happen to them. I know this was a common issue with the K2, and if I remember correctly it was caused by a faulty pulse module. Wonder if GM used the same modules on these trucks and the issue still exists! Any information and/or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Al 2019 Sierra Wipers.mp4

Hi, the wipers on my 2012 GMC Yukon are very slow, so I'm trying to repair them before they become fully seized. I removed the nut that holds the wiper blade onto the bolt. Please see the attached photo, but it almost appears that there is a small washer at the base of the bolt that is stuck in place. I've tried using quite a bit of force to remove the blade with no luck. I realize it's difficult to see in the photo. The bolt is currently soaking with some WD40. If that doesn't work, I'll look around for a wiper blade pulling tool. Any other thoughts? Is there some material on here that looks like it doesn't belong? Just added a second photo after cleaning the bolt. You can see the silver metal around the base of the bolt much clearer now. Not sure what that is, or if it needs to come off, or if it's part of the wiper? Thanks, Chris

I have a 2000 k2500 classic, when I shut it off last night the wipers were vertical and I didn't think about that when starting it today with 6 inches of wet snow on it. Now the wipers won't park, they simply stop wherever they are when I shut the switch off, and they will only work on high. My switch was replaced less than 2 years ago and all of it's other functions still work. And my pulse board is also less than 2 years old so I'm not sure which it would be. Help? -
2013 Silverado 5.3 I have read a couple posts about this but need some clarifying info. My wiper will stay on even with the key off (had to undo the battery to turn off) I can go a higher speed but not turn them off with the switch. A couple post suggested the pulse control board that is under the dash. Has anyone changed one of these out? Any pics of what I should be looking for?
