Default Hummer h3 wipers intermittent

Hey guys,

Used to have a problem where I couldn't ever use wipers on high speed, didnt bother me since thats rarely needed, but lately now my wipers wont work at all.

I tried swapping the relay for wiper Hi/Low and Wiper on off (72 and 73) with a backup to isolate which one is bad, but it seems like theyre all bad, I go under the hood, play relay bingo for a bit, then theyll start working again, until they dont. Any ideas apart from just getting 3 new relays? It doesnt seem like a relay problem since all my swapping doesn't resolve the problem.

Just replaced a Buick Encore Wiper Motor over the weekend. If it is not a fuse or connection/harness issue, about 75% of the time it is the Wiper Motor, the other 25%......... the switch arm.

Good point. Just find the signal loss! KOEO, WIPERS ON, wiggle/reseat/rotate:connectors/relays/switch. Warning: don't leave the wipers on a dry windshield or you will cause damage to the wiper motor/transmission. When you find the source of failure, open a can & clean contacts.
