My windshield wipers won't work on the intermittent, sometimes won't shut off even with the truck turned off or only work on continuous mode. I changed the directional switch and that worked for a week. Now it is doing the same thing.

Any suggestions?

The park switch on the motor is probably bad (common problem).

Solution is to replace the wiper motor.

I just did the fix for this, pull the motor, pull the motor cover and the cover over the electronics. Sand the contacts some to remove the oxidation, spray it with white lithium grease and reassemble.

That fixed was applied to a wrecking yard wiper motor and works as expected. The insides did not look so hot and i suspect it had the same issue. I used a writeup on another forum to do this. Took several pics and can write it up here if needed.

You should do that writeup here!
I had the same issue years ago and just replaced the entire wiper motor instead of pulling it apart, but I'd always good to save some coin.

Thanks again Steve. My mechanic followed the instructions you provided. The wipers are now working correctly.

Nice! Good to hear!! I think it is best to try and keep the OEM vs aftermarket on some parts, this is one of them.

Anything that can be rebuilt! Starters, alternators, wiper motors, etc.

You still making parts?

Did you ever move out by the straights?

I make parts when I need em, hobby stuff, done a lot for my car, made some custom buckets for a projector retrofit for the Golf, been playing some high temp material. Printed some lowers etc.

Still house hunting. We've had the rug pulled out from under us on a few houses, it's been very deflating to say the least.
