I have a 1988 Chevrolet S10 Blazer and whenever i use my turn signal, my windshield wipers wipe. Even sometimes when i hit a bump they will wipe. I can even hit the steering wheel and they will wipe. Any ideas about what‘s wrong and how it can be fixed?
You probably have worn some of the insulation off of one of the wires. It's coming into contact with another wire and closing the circuit on you. You're going to have to pull the steering column apart to find out. If its not the wire, its the switch.
It's inside the steering wheel. I am guessing that you have the tilt cruise, blinker, all in one??? These are famous for falling apart. They are repairable, I just fixed one a few weeks ago, but your probably going to get in over your head. Better off leavin this to a pro
The wiper switch is the turn signal lever. The turn signal switch is in the column. You can pull the lever out with a good yank and see if the wiring is worn thru. Do not unplug it from the bottom of the steering column, until you want to replace it, then tie a strong string to it and pull it out from the top. use the string and some tape to pull the new one thru. Otherwise you will have a B$%^** of a time trying to fish it back thru. That is the most common problem with GMs, the wiring shorts out inside the column. No need to remove the wheel, just the panel under the dash. Its a small plug, just make sure you get the one for your vehicle. Dealer or scrap yard, If you pull it out at the wreckers yourself you get to practise first
