This was a common problem on all OBS vehicles, and there was a safety recall many years ago.

I had the problem about 7-8 years ago with my '97 Hoe, wipers beginning to only work sometimes, or not at all.

The usual fix is the replacement of the entire board-module on the Firewall. Often the connector plug itself was the culprit.

I got lucky, and simply unscrewed the cover with a Torx Screwdriver, cleaned both the Board, and Connectors with a Electrical Contact Cleaner Spray, re-distributed a crap load of grease to where it should've been in the first place, on the worm gears, and never had a problem since.

There is a write up on how to do the wiper fix on here. Look in the Teck forum

Ok thanks. Just my luck it's raining here and they don't want to work
