I have owned 3 Chevy Astro vans. 1995/2001/1998/ in the 1995 and in the one I have now 1998 the windshield wipers fail to work. They come on when there is no rain and don't come on when it rains. I spoke to a service man and he told me that many of the Astro vans have that problem. A delay in winshield wipers

Windshield wipers stop working without warning. When the wipers would stop, manual movement would successfully activate them. The service manager suggested that the controller circuit board seemed to be the cause.
