Lousy wiper motors/controller! Yikes, I'm about to give up on this car.
The wiper motors are giving me a headache.
Replaced the wiper motor after it failed and then it failed again. Replaced it again and now after a few days, the wipers will not shut off. The car has only 68K miles.
I'm assuming this issue relates to a bad wiper motor control board which is mounted on the wiper motor.
Each time I have replaced the motor, I have also replaced the wiper control board.
I think I will save some time and effort this time and buy a NEW motor and NEW control board instead of a rebuilt unit.
Can these be purchased NEW directly from GM?
Lots of these GM cars have been recalled as a result of a flawed wiper control board but the 1999 Camaro is not one of them; right?
P.S. The electronics on these cars blow - I'm on my third set of window motors too.
GM = never again!
