My front wiper delay is acting up. When I turn the stalk to intermittent, the wipers sometimes delay and sometimes stop and other times they stop and start intermittently, but not on a regular basis. The dealer said that the entire wiper, blinker and dimmer stalk needed to be replaced to the tune of several hundred dollars. I went on another site and it could be the Central Timer Module. Could it also be the wiper motor? I had the wiper motor replaced on recall. Any help would be great. Thanks!

 

If they work fine on the lowerr and higher constant setting, I doubt that
there is a problem with the wiper motor.

Regading replacement of the stalk, sorry I can be of no help

 

Thanks 2000RT. Do you have a clue as to if it could be the Central Timer Module, or is it the stalk?

 

Just a guess, but I would look at the Central Timing Module.
If everything on the stalk is working fine, except for the delays
on the wipers, I would start with the CTM

Good Luck, and sorry I couldn't be of more help

 

Sometimes the Central Timing Module is inside the wiper motor. The only one I ever had to replace was on a Chevy Blazer[sm=shootshoot.gif]

 

Inside what??!!?? LOL.

On the D, the CTM is in the kick panel, depending on the year, usually the drivers side kick panel.

I'm not saying that is the problem, since a faulty CTM would cause all kinds of havoc, not just wiper issues. However, that is where it is located.

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.

 

No problem.

On the Blazer, wasn't the gas cap inside the glove box?

J/K!

Have a great week.

That sounds like what my Durango is doing as well. I posted it a couple days ago (Very Intermittent Front Wipers). When mine is in intermittent, the wipers will sometimes stop in mid travel for a couple seconds and then continue on. They also have trouble "parking" when I turn them off. I am going to get the wiper motor recall done on it here in a couple days and go from there. I was beginning to believe that the problem was the stalk and I've been pricing them (believe it or not, the dealers have been cheaper that the parts stores...$42 vs $59). Now that the Central Timing Module (or whatever that was) has come up, I might have to rethink my options...especially if it is a cheaper part!

 

The CTM (Central Timing Module) will run you around $400 installed on a Gen1 D.

What wiper motor recall? ???
