Thanks guys, I will check out the connector at the windshield. I have changed the switch as it didn't work at all when I got the truck. Might wait a while as I have the wading kit so a bit more involved to drop the screen. Thanks again.
Hi guys, today was the first time, unbelievably, I have driven the m1097a2 in persistent rain. The wipers worked fine most of the time but would occasionally hesitate mid sweep for a second or 2. Is there any maintenance that should be carried out on the linkage? I can find anything in the...
Thanks, I too am thinking a wiring fault. As it's not all the time and related to bumps. It all started when I fitted new batteries, but I have been through the wiring in the battery box.

Tha ks again guys.
