I was having problem with the wipers not working all the time. I would push the washer button in, and the front wiper wouldn’t go on. Sometimes they would and other times they wouldn’t. So I replaced the pump. Now when they work at least washer fluid comes out.

Could there be a relay for just the front wiper. The back ones work all the time. All other functions on the controller in the truck work. Could it still be the controller?

it is most of the time they work or just when they want to work.. 9 out of 10 times do you say they work,

no, its the dont work more than they do. All other functions on the controller arm work. IE turn, lights, rear wiper and washer, regular wiper.

It also seem that, if I get in the truck and start it, if they dont work right away, they wont work for the entire time the truck is running, I can then go to the gas station and get back into the truck, turn it on, and sometimes they will work. Then they will work for as long as the truck is running.

I should probably buy the relay, and put that in, just to rule that out. Its only 11$, however the controller arm is over 100$.

Thanks for the input.
