    04.5 windshield wipers

    I have an o4.5 Cummins and for some reason the windshield wipers are not consistent and tend to work once and go into. I’ve already changed the relays, I know the switch is good because everything else works, what else could it be? It also has a new motor and the transmission is fine.

    It runs for the 1st time you use it and not the next ?
    Or swipes once and done ?

    That's what I was thinking Jim. Just because the other functions work doesn't mean the wiper switch is right. It could be a bad wire, but there isn't much movement under the dash. Unlikely where a door wire would be

    Yeah! I read other forums and they have come to the conclusion about the contacts in the motor but i’m Not 100% sure because I don’t have my truck currently
