I had the dreaded windshield wiper problem on my 97 Z71 (Erratic, wont work at all, etc,,) and fixed it without any soldering or replacement parts and it took about 5 minutes. I took off the windshield wiper cover on the firewall and discovered grease smeared everywhere on the inside. I simply cleaned all of the excess grease up except for what was on the gears and now my wipers work perfectly. I had looked at the circuit board solders thinking that would be the problem, but they were all in good shape. A friend had told me about the excess grease issue and sure enough it worked. Hopefully I can save somebody else some time and stress?.I would examine the solder to make sure that they are solid, but if they don?t look bad, it might only be a grease issue??
