Stuck Wipers

[Scouts Out]

OK another stange situation, when i pull the washers to wash the windshield the wipers come on and do not go off until i stop the truck and turn it off. Now this is not every time but 3 of the past 7 times. Even when they do turn themselves off they sweep way more than they used to, like maybe 30 sweeps. I will be calling the dealer tomorrow.

I have a similar problem with mine. I tend to be finicky with the wipers, so i am my own intermittent setting.... i switch it on for the time i need em, then back off. Occossionaly, when I go to switch it on, the first setting, they won't turn on at all, they'll just twitch, and then sit there... If i turn it right off, then back on, they sweep across no problem. I guess that it's getting stuck in a different timer....

Also, snow really likes the wipers... it clogs up real quick on these... I believe it might be related to the flat windshield and not a strong enough spring pushing onto the window.... and if the windshield was at a stronger angle I believe it would solve the problem, but alas that's not something that can be fixed...

I had the same thing happen. It was due to ice build-up in the cavities just below the wiper arm mounts. Once cleared, mine returned to normal function.

I have noticed that ice also builds up considerably just below the windshield and also on the roof....

Well of course this morning at 6 am when I climbed into the H3 to go to the dealer the wipers started working after 2 days of nothing? Must be gremlins!

Since I didn't have an appointment, I didn't bother completing the trip to the dealer. I guess I'll see hoew they work over the course of the next few days.

Thanks for the replies.
