wipers on the m1009 not working right

[84cucv1ton]

they were fine. i had the key in the on possession. was hooking up something to the fuse block. heard some strange sound from the column itself. think i might have fried something.

now only work in high and does not return back at all.

any ideas what i could have done?? hope i dont need to take the column apart. thanks

Change the steering columne switch completely to a new one. It is a matter of age. The switch is worn out. Cleaning may help for a period of time, but not really.

What makes the wiper work very slow, age? motor shot?

Bad electrical connections, old grease, debris.

after some reading and testing. some how i fried about a 10" section of wires in there. not sure if i should take it apart or get another column. been told the column use a lot of cheap plastic that breaks.

Take it apart, it's quite simple, just digitally remember (camera) how it came apart because the TM has real crappy illustrations. In addition to your basic metric hand tools, you'll need a steering wheel puller, lock plate depressor tool, and Torx T20 (iirc).

An internet company named LMC truck has everything that you need to replace the parts.

Most of the time if the wipers will work on high or low and will not park it is the wiper motor that is going bad all the controls are in the motor as far as parking not in the switch

they stay on high and dont return. like you said.. so how do i check my motor? thanks

If you already messed with the elements in the steering column and it's still slow, and won't park, it sounds like the motor. No need to check anything, necessarily (some may disagree). I'd order the new wiper motor and replace. I'm often loathe to spend an unnecessary dime, but sometimes an extra couple bucks is worth getting rid of a pain in the A**.
