RE: Front Wiper Delay
I guess the CTM isn't a cheaper part. I don't drive the vehicle anyway...she can deal with it. The CTM is also under recall as well. Here's the text for the wiper motor recall from nhtsa.gov

No problem. 
On the Blazer, wasn't the gas cap inside the glove box?
J/K!
Have a great week.

Thanks for clearing that up. I never had a problem with those before on the D. But on the 1999 Chevy Blazer[sm=shootshoot.gif] it was built into the wiper motor. It was a small chip.

We put lightning strike pin striping on it and gained 5 mpg's and 200 hp with 240 ft torque! Man what an upgrade!

RE: Front Wiper Delay
The problem is most likely going to be in the wiper module. Its a circuit board that runs the delay, park, input,output.
I thought I read you had had the recall done, so I would check on the wiper module, not the wiper motor. Hope this helps.
