Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair Asked on January 30, 2021
I have a 2009 Chrysler Sebring. A few months ago the windshield wipers stopped working properly. Whenever I turned the control switch from off to any of the on settings the wipers would move about 10 degrees. When I turned the switch off the wipers would move some random amount. Based on a friend’s suggestion I replaced the wiper motor. That did not fix the problem. I replaced the switch and that fixed the problem. I have not had to use them much since then but they seemed to work. The motor was a refurb and the switch was new. Both came from NAPA.
A couple of days ago I was about 20 miles into my highway commute home in the rain when the wipers stopped working. None of the delay modes worked but if I moved the switch from low to high the blades would make a complete up and down motion plus a little more up. This was the situation for the next 15 miles. I parked the car at home and went inside for about 45 minutes. When I came back out and tested the wipers they worked perfectly. It had stopped raining so I sprayed the car down thinking the water might be the issue but the wipers worked fine. I have not driven in the rain since then but they have worked whenever I randomly tested them.
Is it possible that the new switch is going bad? The other suggestion I was given was "something is loose."
