The wipers of my 1998 Suburban K1500 have started working only occasionally. They can go minutes without working and then work fine. This has been going on for about a month and I'm not sure if the switch needs replacing or it's just a loose connection somewhere.

I have a 1998 Chevrolet Suburban 5.7L V8, 4X4 with the lt package. I am experiencing windshield wiper problems where the wipers fail approximately 50% of the time when needed. There is currently a recall on 94-97 model Chevrolet pickups/SUV's on this issue but the 98 models are not included. I believe I am experiencing the same problem and the issue should be GM's responsibility.

I own a 1998 Chevrolet Suburban. The windshield wipers work very intermittently. When on delay they sometimes delay, sometimes work on slow speed and sometimes do not work at all. There is an active recall on other Chevrolet models for this exact problem but not this model and year. Chevrolet needs to fix this problem before there is a fatal or debilitating crash. Safety first!

On 9/07/2003 at 1140 hrs while driving my 1998 Chevrolet Suburban in a rain storm with my two young children in the back, my wipers failed to continue working. Visibility was extremely difficult. I proceeded immediately to the nearest dealer and was informed about a defective wiper motor relay circuit board that GM has redesigned to correct this problem. I purchased the updated module kit and installed the unit in less one half hour. This is a serious safety problem which should be covered under a recall program so as to avoid serious mishaps.
