| Windshield wipers stay on and won't turn off, you can turn them on high, but not off or intermittent. fuse had to be pulled to get them to cut off, but when fuse was replaced, wipers stayed on still. this is a potential safety hazard due to the fact that driving with fuse pulled any rainfall could hinder driving. until vehicle is stopped and fuse is replaced. *tr | |||

| (1) hot humid weather was apparently too much for my vehicle air conditioner. (2) the air conditioner blower motor resistor failed in addition to the associated electrical wiring going to the resistor. (3) the parts that were replaced cost $51.62, and the labor to replace the parts cost $445.00. the failure occurred with just over 31,000 miles on the vehicle. this failure could have just as easily resulted in a fire within the dashboard assembly in the passenger compartment of the vehicle. *tr | |||

| While driving home during a rain storm my windshield wipers started to malfunction. i had them on an intermittent speed and they all of sudden went to high. once i was home. i attempted to turn my wipers off and they only went to low. i am unable to turn my wipers off i had to remove the fuse. if i need my wipers i must put the fuse back in. i am working now to determine if it is the multiple function switch that has gone bad. upon looking up data about my vehicle on line i found trucks dating back to the mid 90's with the same issue. *nm | |||
