My 2005 Dodge Ram intermittent wiper did not work. I replaced the wiper switch and it still did not fix the problem. I then cleaned the wiper motor connection and put dielectric grease on the connection, and it started working again.

I just swapped my blinker switch thinkin the same thing. Then I saw this video, went back, reseated the plug in and it works like a charm. Thanks for the tip!

@LHHomestead 6 месяцев назад

Glad it worked!

Thanks, glad I checked RU-vid before I took it to the shop.

I hope it fixed your problem! It's annoying not having intermittent wipers.

@bartman898 Месяц назад

@@LHHomestead it worked! Wow the intermittent has been intermittent since 2017. Was getting worse over time . Been trying it all night and it’s fixed! Those little plastic clips suck and I cracked the cover right on the edge there. Thank you for the content and saving me 50 bucks on a switch!

@LHHomestead 5 месяцев назад

Glad it worked and thanks for letting me know it was helpful! And yes those plastic clips suck. There needs to be a tutorial just on how to unclip them. There are so many different kinds I have broken a few on my truck. @@Hallsballs77

I tried it and then tested it and it worked. I had to use it half an hour later and it went back to not working correctly. Thanks for the tip and I wish it would have kept on working for me.

Weird that it worked and then stopped working.

@venomouscomics1625 Год назад

Did you do the connection at both wipers or just the drivers side? Im hoping this will work for me, my intermittent is fine. Its just my highest speed that doesn't work.

@LHHomestead Год назад

I only did the connection on the wiper motor which is on the drivers side.. It fixed my intermittent. My high speed was working.

@carlanderson9553 Год назад

I have the same air bag light on. How do we fix this?

@LHHomestead Год назад

I have not gotten around to the fix yet, but I have been told it could be the clock spring in the steering wheel. I have checked the simple things such as the fuse and wiring but that all seems good. Please let me know if you find a solution.

@PGE564 3 месяца назад

My 2006 Ram 3500 seems to have glitchy electrical system, where turning the truck off then back on often will clear up the problem. So when you reseat the plug, you turn the truck off right? Or the radio or seat heaters will be goofy, turn the truck off then back on will reboot the computer and all will be well in the 2006 Dodge truck world. It works for me, so before you go twisting some bolts give this a shot. Waking up the ghost in the machine.

@LHHomestead 3 месяца назад

I sometimes get the issue where my heater/AC fan will not turn on, and usually the fix is to turn the vehicle off then back on. I wonder if it could be a grounding issue. I notice on my battery terminals I cannot get them tight. When I have them fully clamped I can still pull the ground terminal off by hand (if that makes sense) I know how a simple thing like a bad ground can cause all kinds of issues with the electrical system.

@scottwhitcher265 5 месяцев назад

So you put out a 6-1/2 minute video to get to "clean the contacts and seal them with dielectric grease"?

@LHHomestead 5 месяцев назад

Yup!, and good point, I could have just said that.

@jamiehurst7792 Месяц назад

Turned my wipers on in 97 dodge ram van worked I pushed to spray water and heard like a metal rod fall inside there now no wipers but i can hear the motor in there like it is working

@LHHomestead Месяц назад

sounds like the rod disconnected from the wiper motor.

@jasonwhelan12 5 месяцев назад

Seriously. If you’re going to do a tutorial video then take the cover off and so the motor and where you put the grease onto the connectors. This video is junk.

@LHHomestead 5 месяцев назад

After watching the video I agree, I could have taken off the cover to give a better view of the motor. No excuse there, It was laziness on my part to not take the cover fully off. In the future I will try to have better camera angles. Not my finest production, but this will strive for me to get better. Thank you!
