The windshield wipers on my 1998 Lumina, only work on High, or when the washer is depressed. Mist will also work. Low speeds will not. Is this a bad wiper motor?

there is a electrical board screwed to the bottom of the motor, this board is most common issue for this problem. The board may need a new Diode in it or it could be a soldering issue in the board. You can buy this board new or aftermarket. either is good. Or you can resolder the board and replace the diode. then re-attach the board back to the motor and it should work.. good luck

Where is the wiper module on a 95 chevy lumina APV located?

The delay wiper module is located in the wiper motor itself. The module is directly under the plastic cover on the front of the motor.
Good luck.

Is there a fuse for 1992 chevy lumina windshield wipers?

Yes but these vans have a problem with the circuit board on the windshield wiper motor developing loose solder connections. Some sell these boards at Ebay. If your wipers only work on high speed, the board is the problem.

'88 blazer wipers do not work

Same thing happened to my '87 Chevy S-10 pickup, so it's probably the same part. The wiper motor froze, and because it's direct geared to the wipers, they don't move unless it does.

Remove the wiper motor, reposition the wipers to their resting position, then reinstall a new wiper motor.

Wipers do not work Sometimes

Hello, This is usually one of two problems.

1. The wiper motor has gotten weak or a dead spot in the motor windings. this would cause it to not start depending on where the motor stopped last. The motor is usually a easy change.

2. The other things it could be is you wiper switch has a bad connection or just in need of replacement. This could be a harder job depending on how much of the column you need to take apart to get the lever switch out.

I would lean toward number 1 its usually the more common problem. I hope my answer at least gets you in the right direction. I hope you have a great weekend:>)

Wipers only work on high.

It sounds like the switch went out. I have seen a lot of GM products have this same problem.

Wipers not working

First thing you could try is replacing the circuit board on your wiper motor. It's behind the black retangular box on your wiper motor. Not hard to change. A few screws and a plug in. Or- change the whole wiper motor. ( about $80 more than the board) Bolts can all be accessed by removing the cover at the bottom of your windshield. Pretty straight forward.

2000 Chevy Malibu wiper delay and intermittent won't work.

I had this problem (wipers only work on high) with my 2002 Chevy Malibu and had to replace the 6 amp diode (22059733) on the wiper control board. It is connected to the back of the wiper motor and is held on by 3 torx screws.
Radio Shack has them for $2.75 6A, 50V Rectifier Diodes (4-Pack) Model:276-1661
