If any of the above conditions are present, inspect the wiring harness running behind the coolant bottle to the wiper motor for chafing on a brake line clip and shorting to ground. If harness damage is found, repair and insulate the damage, and secure the harness away from the clip. Broadcast Message 3695.

Before reading KW5413's post, I disconnected the ground to the motor and the wipers finally stopped (and yes, I did get my finger caught in the control arms between the wipers as I was messing around with the wipers on; ouch). I then disconnected the harness on the motor, then reassembled everything. They are now operating fine. We've had a couple of days of rain in NC over the past week, and all functionality worked. I'm going to find the harness that KW5413 identified to see if there is damage. -- Signed, Homer Simpson.

I'm glad you posted back on this one. It had me curious enough that I was going to start ripping apart my own truck to see what the potential problems could be. If it turns out KW was right, don't tell him. It'll just go to his head and you know he'll be impossible to live with after that.

My wife tells me that I am impossible to live with anyway. After being home a couple of weeks she starts asking when I hit the road again.
I think she looks forward to hunting season more than I do...almost.
