WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE INTERMITTENT. FIRST TIME IT FAILED WAS WITH A LIGHT RAIN. I TURNED THEM ON AND THEY WORKED BUT THE NEXT TIME, THEY DID NOT. ONE TIME, IN A HEAVY RAIN, I HAD TO WAIT BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT WORKING. A THIRD TIME, IT ONLY STARTED WORKING AFTER I WENT OVER RAILROAD TRACKS. I TALKED TO A FRIEND AT WORK WITH A 95' TAHOE THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPEN TO HIM IN A RAINSTORM AND HE TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON A MODULE THAT CONTROLS THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS. I CONTACTED A DEALER TO COME IN AND GET IT FIXED AND HE TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE HAD NO RECALL FOR THE MODULE.
