New Windshield Wiper Problem
I did a search and didn't find this problem, so here goes... When I put my wipers in the "on" position, they still work intermittently for a while. It's randon, too. They may wipe one, wait 5 seconds, wipe twice, then start working correctly. Sometimes they do this for 15-20 minutes before finally staring to work correctly. The high speed on seems to work correctly all the time, and the internittent works correctly. Any suggestions. BTW, I'm sorry I haven't been on here for a while, I've just had nothing to say.:red:

My old truck had a similiar issue. The wiper motor pulse board had a bad solder joint. It even had a recall. I have not heard of any issues with the HHR on this. But I imagine it is something similiar.

Thanks, Solman. It's about to drive me crazy, so I guess I'll have to take it in. That will be the 2nd or 3rd time in 3+ years. I guess that's not too bad of a track record.

I've noticed that if your going 50+ your wipers go to a faster setting than what it was before.

At that speed they automatically switch from intermittant to low.
Say that 10 times fast.... |
The intermittent wipers are speed sensitive. As your speed increases, the pause interval between wipes decreases. Above 50 mph, the shortest pause interval goes away completely and the wipers run continuously.

Mine does this however ive noticed it only does at at different speeds. If I speed up or slow down almost like its speed sensitive, other than that though its fine.

Please let us know what you find out at the dealer.
My 06 HHR does the same thing only its gotten worse and 90% of the time my wipers wont even work when i turn them on to the regular speed, and 50% of the time they do work, they work in the intermitent speed and the turn on switch is in the regular speed slot. i was goning to take it in for warranty but my warranty is 100 dollar deductible and the new switch is 45 dollars. so i would replace it myself if i was sure it is the switch. on the other hand my intermitent works perfect and my fast speed works perfect.

Weird wipers...
I have had problems with the wipers as described by others. Although on one occasion when I had it on high, I went through a speed trap and had to slow down and the wipers did too. Unfortunately, I live in Oregon and when you put your wipers on high you need them to be going like Jimmie Johnson around a race track. Man it hurts me to say that! Go Jeff!!

Ya I'm having this problem right now. sometimes the Speed sensitive intermittent wipers work normal, but lately its been random. I first noticed it when I have it on low it just doesn't work at all, but now thats its rainy season here in Vancouver, I have it on medium or High delay, yet its still seems random, sometimes going slower in higher speeds and vice versa. even skipping beats or having double beats going a single speed. I took it in for another reason and told them about this and of course it didn't do it for them and no bulletins for it either yet.
