Remove the steering column covers.. remove the two bolts that hold on the multifunction (wiper/turn signal) switch.. pull the switch back and make sure all the contacts in the connectors are fully seated in place. You might try calling your dealership with your VIN number, as I think I remember some kind of recall on these awhile back.

I did check the wires, would these trucks, suv's have a resistor for the motor like the older trucks?

You might also check all the connections at the body control module... all the resistors, etc are build into that
