| I have found that you have a recall for this (#98v150001), but it only applies to 1994 -1996 vehicles. my 1992 has problems with the windshield wipers only working intermittently. i believe that it could be the solder joints as well. this issue may not be limited to years 1994-1996. please investigate.*ak | |||
| While driving in inclement weather the windshield wipers seize while in motion and cause extreme difficulty in vision and vehicle control. *ak | |||
