Default Wipers

2005 Quad wipers work fine on pulse, switch to first totally on position work fine for a moment then regress to pulse, switch to next higher setting (max position) and work like it's set on low setting. Any one have this problem, I have a feeling it's the switch?

Some days mine work, some days they won't. I'm waiting on a recall for the motor, like they did on my '02.

The ECM control the wipers as it does most everything on the truck.
Sound like a puter problem.

Went to a dodge dealership to see how much longer I had on my warranty, they said it was expired. According to carfax that's not true. I still have my main warranty. Where can I find this out for sure?

Baracis, what year is your truck? You should have the basic 36/36 warranty along with the 36/36, 7/70, or lifetime power train, depending on your year. If you didn't buy extended coverage, and you're over 36K, you're beat. If you're under though, your dealer is giving you the runaround.

Here are some links that might help you.

Btw, what part of Indy are you from? I lived out there for 8 years. Love the place.

The wiper motor was replaced on my '02 Dakota under a recall.

From right outside of the east side, but I worked at Hindel Bowling Alley on 38th street for a few years. Rough neighborhood.
