We have a 2000 Pontiac bonneville. Yes I know its aging. for the last 3 - 4 years we have had electrical problems on the dash board - gas guage not working, etc. But the worst is that our windshield wiper motor keeps going out. We have replaced it three times and now its out again! Our mechanic says go to a dealer- they have info not available to others. Our dealer has already replaced the motor for us twice and has never told us if Pontiac has issued any info on this problem. What say you? I am tired of paying over $100 for a motor that lasts not even two months.

There is a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) for this problem, consult GM for more info. It simply regards the wiper module cover assembly that has been problem atic in most gm vehicles. Your best bet though would be to remove the cover and look for any signs of moisture intrusion, or broken circuts. If you find a broken circut and are handy with a solidering iron, you may be able to fix this problem. If there is any evidence of moisture, you may want to try to dry the unit out and see if that makes any difference. Normally though this problem ends in replacinjg the complete wiper module cover assembly. Here is where that item is located.

try replaceing the circut board in the motor

SOURCE: windshield wiper on car iced up during snow/driving could not see

You can usually avoid that by using a good quality winter mix washer fluid that resists freezing, making sure the wipers are cleared of ice before beginning the drive and using the defroster to keep the windshield warm. In extreme conditions you just need to pull over and manually clean the ice off by hand.(only do that where it's safe). There are also specially designed wiper blades that will also help a bit.

SOURCE: After turn on windshield wipers, they will not

There is two place that you can check which would cause this problem. (1) the switch it self and the other is the (2) circuit board on the wiper motor. It's common for the solder on the circuit board where the wire harness clips on the wiper motor to crack and needs to be re soldered. You can buy the replacement at Auto Zone or you can re solder it your self to safe you the $15.00 for the board. If you give it a light tap and the wipers stop, then it's the circuit board. If it keeps working, then it's the switch on the steering column and you can get that at Auto Zone also and they will have the step by step instructions for you to get the hob done with common tools. Good luck and keep me posted.
