Default Help i need my wipers

My wipers on my 91 are about dead they will go real slow then stop then a clicking sound will be heard then they will take off again I think the sound is coming from the switch I can feel it pulsate when I hear the sound i replaced the switch still the same is there any other electrical components I need to look in to or is it the motor

Follow the switch wires down and you will find the wiper control module, a little black box. Open it up and solder all the cracked connections and they should work again.

Thanks for the help, but here's the other question. Where can I get the module at? I haven't had any luck finding one on the net. I'm going to try to repair the old one, but I'd like to know where I can get one in the event I cant fix it.

OK went and got module out of a junkyard . It was good cuz the wipers worked on donor truck. I put it on mine and no luck. I guess I need the motor. I noticed that when they kick on the charging hand drops way down like its drawing alot of juice. I've always been told that's a sign of a bad motor. When it quits raining ill get a new motor. By the way a new module is $360 at the stealership $304 at orilleys and $10 at the yard

It's practically free to solder yours.

I don't have a soldering iron or any solder wire so the $10 module was cheaper than going out and buying the stuff to fix it with.
