PASS IT AROUND... DON'T BOGART... Mine doesn't do that....

I WANT ONE OF THOSE !

 

Your wipers are called "Variable Intermittent Winshield Wipers". Therefore, they may vary depending on speed of the vehicle. It's in the book somewhere.l

 

You mean DC didn't give us a free hidden feature like rain sensing wipers that go faster when there is more rain on the windshield??

 

Mine does it too bit only when it's raining or high humidity. If I'm just cleaning my windshield then it seems fine. Goes away in the winter and again during the heat of the summer. I pulled mine apart and regreased the internals and sealed it up again but it still does it.

Oh and it will do it for an hour or two after i wash the truck.

I also spent some time to diagnose it between the column switch and the actual motor and it is definately in the motor end of things, all pulses and signals are accounted for. Mopar wants over $300 for the multifunction switch and always pushes it as the problem however I talked to a few people now who all say they changed the switch based on their dealers reccomendation without any improvement. And of course we all know the dealers stand on returning electronic parts don't we! The wiper assembly is just over $120 but it happens so infrequent that I think I'll just put up with it till I sell the truck.

 

Mine have never quite working and like most of you have said its so minor not worth fixing. Gives me something to do while driving in the rain so I guess I cant complaine to much. Thanks guys glad this is happening to some others and someone just didnt slip something into my brownies.

Yep, my does the same thing on long pause intermediate.

Its called WP (wiper fibrillation) no known cause at this time.

 

OPERATING MODES
The components of the wiper and washer system are designed to work in concert to provide the following operating modes:

Continuous Wipe Mode - The control **** on the control stalk of the multi-function switch has two continuous wipe positions, Low and High. When selected, these switch positions will cause the two-speed wiper motor to operate in a continuous low or high speed cycle.
Intermittent Wipe Mode - The control **** on the control stalk of the multi-function switch has five minor detent intermittent wipe positions. When selected, these switch positions will cause the wiper system to operate with one of five delay intervals between complete wipe cycles. The intermittent wipe delay intervals are speed sensitive and will be doubled when the vehicle speed is about sixteen kilometers-per-hour (ten miles-per-hour) or less.
Pulse Wipe Mode - When the control **** on the control stalk of the multi-function switch is depressed to the momentary Wash position for less than about one-half second, the wiper system will operate the wipers for one complete low speed cycle, then will park the wiper blades near the base of the windshield.
Washer Mode - When the control **** on the control stalk of the multi-function switch is depressed to the momentary Wash position for more than about one-half second with the wiper system turned Off, the washer pump/motor and the wipers will operate for as long as the washer switch is held closed up to about thirty seconds, then the wipe-after-wash mode is invoked when the control **** is released. When the Wash position is selected with the wiper system operating in a continuous wipe mode, washer fluid will be dispensed onto the windshield glass through the washer nozzles for as long as the washer switch is held closed up to about thirty seconds. When the Wash position is selected with the wiper system operating in an intermittent wipe mode, washer fluid is still dispensed until the control **** is released; however, the wipers will operate in a low speed continuous cycle from the time the washer switch is closed until several wipe cycles after the switch is released, before returning to the selected intermittent wipe interval. If the control **** is held in the depressed Wash position for more than about thirty seconds, washer system operation will be suspended until the control **** is released for about two seconds then cycled back to the Wash position.
Wipe-After-Wash Mode - When the control **** on the control stalk of the multi-function switch is depressed to the momentary Wash position for more than about one-half second with the wiper system turned Off, the washer pump/motor and the wipers will operate for as long as the washer switch is held closed up to about thirty seconds, then provide several additional wipe cycles after the control **** is released before parking the wiper blades near the base of the windshield. If the control **** is held in the depressed Wash position for more than about thirty seconds, washer system operation will be suspended until the control **** is released for about two seconds then cycled back to the Wash position.

 

Same thing on my '01 Ram. SOmetimes the delay is consistent, sometimes not. Minor annoyance. Done it since the truck was new.
