Any debris blocking it?
Otherwise sounds like a bad wiper motor.

 

Yup, park sensor is in the motor assembly. So gotta replace the wiper motor. I've had the same problem for 2 years, not worth the $40+ to fix it...I just got used to it.

 

So, could that sensor be the problem on my truck, it only has high speed working. Started to act a while ago. When the weather is dry, they work just fine, but naturally when you most need them they just don't work. Also when activating washer wipers don't work.

 

Time for a new wiper motor.

 

Is there anyway to make temporary fix, cleaning the motor or something? It have safety inspection on friday, and hate to have it fail just because wipers act randomly. I'll get new motor anyways.

 

Not that I am aware of. On the GM trucks, all the smart parts were in the cover for the wiper motor, and it could be replaced separately. Don't think the dodge trucks do that particular trick though.

 

Allright, I just placed an order for a motor and water pump for the Cummins. Now that I think of it, wipers were quite slow from the start, occasionally, but after they got moving they worked fine, so obviously that slow motion was a sign of a upcoming failure of an electric motor. Let's just hope that high speed works till tuesday.

 

Sweet, truck passed the safety inspection even though the wipers didn't quite work Told the inspector that the new motor is on the way and should be here by tuesday (now it seems to be in France).
