If it is a GM, just a wild assed guess because of the word '350', then
your wiper motor could be missing a ground path or a power line. I would hook a booster cable from the battery negative to the case of the motor to see if that helped. If not, then the power is being interrupted. If you live in the snow belt, you could have tried to start the wipers frozen to the windshield. This will burn out the intermittent module and can take out the park.

Hey Mike,
Yeah GMC Suburban (burb) The motor is bolted to the frame by 3 bolts so I don't see how it could be a ground issue. I will try it though. Better safe than sorry No I'm down south in Texas. Never seen are "real" snow like back home in Montreal "Mike Romain" > wrote in message ... > If it is a GM, just a wild assed guess because of the word '350', then > your wiper motor could be missing a ground path or a power line. > > I would hook a booster cable from the battery negative to the case of > the motor to see if that helped. > > If not, then the power is being interrupted.
