If you have a GM vehicle around 1996 and up and your wipers are not working. Most likely you have a bad circuit board.
Example you turn it on but nothing happens. You may or may not hear that the wiper motor is coming on but the wipers themselves are not moving. This will usually happen when your in a storm and you can't see anything!
What to do?
Well guess what, there is a bulletin. Any dealer that says NO is either lying to you or incompetent or doesn't care about your problem
To fix you need to simply REPLACE the black cover of the wiper motor with a new one. Period!!! No bending tangs. No soldering conections.
Do it right and replace it with a new one. The new ones are built better with better connections. $50
If you replace the entire wiper motor you are wasting your time and money and molesting your 'baby' unnecessarily.
Go to the dealer and tell them you just want the Wiper Motor Circuit Board. It's a black Cover with a Wire connection on it's side. The inside of this cover has an attached circuit board and tangs that ride on the wiper motor itself.
Easy fix if you do it right and be careful !
You'll need a 1/4 ratchet and a Small 'Torx' Socket.
Gm likes to use Torx bolts.
Open the cover over the brake booster to give you room
Be very careful with the wires next to this cover.
They are for the computer!!
While your there remove that Clamp on firewall to the left that holds the big bundle of black wires. Put's unnecesary strain on the wires.
Hope this helps
If you need to know what a Torx Bolt looks like then that will have to be another POST

There is a recall on the wiper motors for 1995 S-10 Blazers. I had mine replaced last winter due to the recall. the recall stats that they might come on and off during operation. I would call your local chevy dealer and ask them about the recall and see if your vehicle has been done yet.
