Wiper sprayer gone wild!!!!

[Mr. I - Man]

Today my truck just starts spraying windshield wiper fluid until it was dry. So I had to pull the fuse. Anybody have any clue on how to fix this, except for pulling the fuse.

Thanks in advance.

check the switch on the stalk ,probably stuck . two years ago me and my than part time tec in training took the hose of the Paint and body mans Bronco and rerouted it to the dash so when you hit the washer it would shoot water in his face ,took him a week to use it and when he did he got a rude surprise .

The switch is enclosed and doesn't seem to be stuck I have no Fvcking clue whats wrong with this damn thing now. I think my next truck is going to be Military Humvee. I'm sick of all this GM electronic gagetry in these vehicles now a days too much sh*t to go wrong.

never seen one go bad B4 the way yours did ,shoot som eletrical parts cleaner in it and work it while you spray it . unless the insulation on the wires has worn through and shorted ,it is most likely the switch . and GM used to have a problem that they denighed in the 90's with windshield wipers not working at all some times but never the washers .

Pull the battery terminals for a bit and see if the computer re-sets itself?

Sounds like a past recall item.

I have a 2003 H2 and the same thing,
washer sprayed out all the fluid, had to pull that fuse
wipers went ape and randomly came on, had to pull that fuse

Contacted dealership just as I received a recall letter. Great Timing for all.

Anyway, dealership fixed it all N/C - known problem for many GM trucks.

[IRA51]

THAT'S WHY THIS BOARD ROCKS ,you get info fast and friendly . can an old timer use Rocks ? when it drys out the wipers should stop ,pull the fuse and reinstall it in a couple hours .

H2 USA- Do you own a panterra?
Is it a blue one that runs around town here?

Do you take her to the Donut Derrelicts donut shop on Saturday Mornings in Huntington?

Does a 2004 H2 Qualify for this or only 2003?

Thanks

[H2-USA]

Hucky,

Yes I have Pantera (72) and it used to be seen all over the South Bay and Orange County at assorted events, including Donut Derrelicts events, but......with a seriously tired engine from too many track events, it's now leaking oil, burning oil, etc........ Rebuild is simple, having been planning a complete tear down that would then include a monster replacement engine (aluminum) and have been waiting for World Products to complete their new casting of the 351C.

Okay, back on the H2 and the windshield wipers gone wild.
I found the recall details for this issue:
The recal was for many models of GM trucks, including the 2003 H2

ID# 02V283000 - Visibility: Windshield Wiper/Washer Motor
Manufacturing dates: 10/04/2002 - 10/16/2002
GM Campaign # - 02051/03C03
Units affected: 1448 (Guess I was a luck 1)
Source: NHTSA


There were many other recalls on the H2's that were not sent out to the buyers, but searched when your brought it in for service.....

I find that ironic since you typed "Are you a fan of run-on sentence?" instead of "Are you a fan of run-on sentences?"

Or...

"Are you a fan of a run-on sentence?"

And yes.... I AM your teacher....


Class dismissed.

Touche. Thanks, Teach!

I had the problem with a silverado truck...it was doing the same thing, wipers would go on without turning them on, etc...like the truck was possessed. The dealer narrowed it down to either the switch on the stalk or the wiper motor/module....was about a $1000 repair....I traded the truck in the day they told me what they thought the issue was....lol
