I have a 1998 GMC Jimmy and the windshield wipers are not working properly. I believe there is a recall for this but it only covers up to 1997 Jimmy''s. Further, I''ve read that it''s the wiper motor and that it''s just the wiper circuit. What is the easiest, quickest, cheapest way to fix this problem. Thanks so much. Gayle

 

Optional Information:
1998 GMC Jimmy ?

Already Tried:
replaced wiper motor from other vehicles found at local junk yard but they only work for a few months and the problem starts all over again.

Replace the wiper board module and retest. That's what usually goes bad when the wipers act up.

Okay, replace the wiper board module and retest. That's all I get? How about why and what the cost might be, if it's something that I have to take to a repair service business, how about why this and not the motor??? My original question eluded to a wiper motor or wiper circuit ... I never mentioned a wiper board module. What is a wiper board module? I'll accept this as it is an answer such as it is, but I would have appreciated more information and gladly provided bonus money for it. Wow, it took you more typing to ask for bonus money than to answer my question. I am a 53 year old woman who has to explain all this to her husband and I assure you his first question to me will be "Why?". So I'm reply with that question to you, "Why?"
I am going to reply before I click accept so I don't lose this opportunity, but I assure you I will accept and gladly pay bonus $s for a more detailed answer.
