Truck Still Earns its Keep
My wipers worked for a few minutes this morning then suddenly slowly did the first half of their travel, stayed there for a minute, then slowly returned to the home position, where they will no longer move.
More info:
I replaced a rusty driver front fender on labor day and in the process accidentally pulled the 2 wires out of the washer tank. I added that to the "fix-it" list. So, this morning when I went to spray the washer fluid (it's Rain-X stuff, works awesome) that is when the wipers did the slow movement to halfway and then eventually proceeded to not move anymore. I had forgotten about the two wires that were pulled out of the tank in that moment. Would that connection being open (or potentially shorted if those 2 wires are touching) cause this issue? I have to think it is related because it started as soon as I hit the washer button.
I'll get the wires fixed this weekend but I wanted to get some ideas or experiences flowing here. I can still hear the wiper relay clicking there near the glovebox for every position. Just no wiper arm action.
Thanks
