Hi all,
Wife informed me that the fluid no longer works for the front wipers and she is complaining. So time to troubleshoot. I have a fully functional rear wiper with fluid. When I hit the switch for the fronts I hear absolutely nothing. Just the windshield wipers activating. I know I am getting a bit ahead of myself But the way I figure it, it will either be the wiper relay or the switch itself. So does anyone have recommendations for where I should get a replacement switch from? I have both napa and advance auto closest to me, but all major retailers are within easy driving distance. Extra info, She has 116k on her(truck, not wife ). Also have a bad idle issue which is for another thread

Thanks in advance

Well, what model is it? Have you checked the fuse?

maybe you should do some checks before putting in a switch. They're not cheap.

if the fuse is ok, check for power and grd to the pump motor.

sorry thought it said in my sig, it is an '05 z71 suburban, fuse is good.

I have a 96 lumina in my sig line, but also have a 2000 Suburban. Anyway, if you have a voltmeter or test light check for voltage at the pump connector. If it is present replace the pump. The other thing (not sure how accessible they are) swap connectors between the two pumps.

Keep in mind you will need someone to activate the fluid button when checking the voltage....

I figured since his wife was complaining........
