Ok, so I looked at Rock auto and I do not see the wiper module that would fit this truck. I have a 1988 K1500 5.7. Attached is where I thought the wiper module is, if it was where it was supposed to be. I figure its that big black block on the top left, but Rock auto doesnt show anything like that. Anyone know what wiper module I should be looking for? Im attaching a picture

alldata says its a whole motor you have to replace

Take the square black cover off. Re-solder the connections where the wiring is attached to the board.

The solder cracks over time and will make an intermittent connection.

Thats what will cause the wipers to kick on randomly? Its been going on for like a year, I've replaced the wiper switch in the steering column with two others from a junk yard. I've finally just said screw it, I'm going to buy new everything related with the function of the wipers, and be done with the problem... hopefully. Wiper switch, cheapest new I can find is: More Information for STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS DS494 which is $72

Im going to see about the soldering on it, if that is doable, if not as the other guy said, I guess I have to buy the entire wiper motor.... damn...

What is the extra little black box that isnt included in any of the Wiper Motors, for sale??? I attached a photo to show you what I got, all the ones for sale are missing that black box on the top left of it.

Will look tomorrow takes a big to find it on alldata but parts do change what they look like. But if wipers don't move replace motor

Allan In NE

Yes, that is all that is wrong with it. Save your money.

Yeah doug, they move, they randomly have been kicking on and off without the switch being turned on.

Where you able to find a replacement for that wiper motor? I have the same motor in my truck and I have not been able to find it. I believe that part on top is the wiper control module, it looks like it might just unplug and separate from the motor but I dont want to try if I cant find a replacement. My wipers will turn on fine but they don't turn off right away and they will stop at random places.
