WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR FAILS AT DIFFERENT TIMES. I HAVE CHECKED AND FOUND THAT LATER TRUCKS HAVE HAD A RECALL ON THE SAME WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR. I HAVE DRIVEN OFF THE ROAD ON AT LEAST ONE OCCASION WHEN THE WIPER FAILED WHILE DRIVING. YOU CAN GET THE WIPER MOTOR TO START AGAIN BY REACHING UNDER THE HOOD AND JIGGLE THE WIRING HARNESS THAT CONNECTS TO THE WINDSHIELD MOTOR. THAT SOMETIMES WILL START THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORKING BUT WHEN IT DOES IT TYPICALLY WILL ONLY OPERATE IN THE HIGH SPEED MODE.*AK
