 I own a 1992 chevrolet pickup truck and the windshield wipers sometimes work and sometimes won't. there is a recall on wiper motors, but it does not go back to that model year. i don't dare replace the motor with one from a junk yard because of the same problem and i am wondering if others are seeing this problem with 1992 models.*ak
