2003 Yukon, Windshield wipers will not cut off

I have a 2003 Yukon and the windshield wipers will not cut off if you turn them on, when you tun the windshield switch it will go only to high and low speed. I have replaced the turn signal switch but to no avail. The only way to get them to turn off is to pull the fuse. I was told that there is no wiper module on 03 Yukons to replace or fix. I was also told the only way to fix this is to change the wiper motors. Any help would be appreciated. I also know that if the car has been off for say 1 hour or more the problem will go away. You can put the fuse in and the wipers are off. Also while driving the other day with the fuse out if I had the cruise on and put my blinker on it would cut off my cruise. I put the fuse back in and the problem went away.

2003 Pontiac Montana wipers not working how to fix

First you need a wiring diagram, free at http://www.bbbind.com/free_tsb.html Then you need a DVOM - digital volt ohm meter to test the circuit . Then if your not familiar with automotive electrical systems testing ,go on youtube an check out Electric Testing Techniques You Need to Know Also having a factory diagnostic trouble shooting chart would also be usefull . You could just start replacing parts , you mite get lucky . The wiper motor is a high fail part , so is the switch ..You could find the fuse is blown ! But fuse's don't usually blow without a reason . Short to ground , low resistance . ( high current flow) Also knowing how they work and what all is involved in making them work.
The Wiper/Washer System consists of the following components:
• Windshield wiper/washer switch
• Windshield wiper motor module
• Windshield wiper motor
• Windshield washer pump motor
• FRT/WPR/WSHR 25A fuse

Wiper/Washer System Operation
The windshield wiper motor module is part of the windshield wiper motor cover and controls wiper motor operation. The windshield wiper motor is a 2 speed motor and is operated at low speed in all modes except HIGH. The accessory voltage supply circuit to the windshield wiper motor assembly is used to operate the wiper motor in all of the low speed modes. The accessory voltage supply circuit to the windshield wiper/washer switch is used to supply the windshield wiper switch signal circuits and the wiper motor high speed circuit.
When the wiper/washer switch is in the LOW position voltage is supplied through a 24K ohm resistor within the switch to the windshield wiper switch signal 2 circuit, and accessory voltage is supplied to the windshield wiper switch signal 1 circuit. The reduced voltage from the wiper switch signal 2 circuit and accessory voltage from the wiper switch signal 1 circuit causes the wiper motor module to close the wiper motor accessory voltage supply circuit to the wiper motor low speed terminal.
Windshield wiper/washer system MIST operation is identical to LOW operation except that the MIST switch is a press and release type. When the wiper switch is moved to the MIST position and released, low speed wiper motor operation is started and will continue until 1 cycle is complete. If the wiper switch is moved to the MIST position and held, the windshield wiper motor will operate in the LOW mode until the switch is released.

Don't the wipers work in any mode ?

Wipers come on when blinker is turned on and won't go off

Motherboard?

I think it's a problem with the wiring harness. Probably have a short somewhere.
In reality, things like this, with american cars, it's pretty normal.

I had a ford taurus once.... it was full of electrical and mechanical faults.

Consult a dealership, they could do some troubleshooting.

One windshield wiper won't lift when turned on

Sounds like possibly the R/S armis loose or stripped . Also check linkage. With car and wipers off, carefully attempt to manually move R/S wiper arm. There should be little or no movement.

Front Windshield wipers will not cut off

you can purchase this at any auto parts store for around $40. its a small black box located high and slightly to the driver side firewall. takes about 20 min.to replace(easy). I would sujest purchasing the part first,remove from package,and get familiar with the part as to how it appears to bolt on,also compare it with the one thats on the vehicle now.It will also have a wire harness that plugs into it.
