yes but for some reason they randomly just started working? the only thing i did was remove the fuse and placed it back in....i tried it and it never worked....went inside for about an hour, felt like i should try again and it worked? weird...is something going?

good question, actualy the same reason I logged in here tonight. If I get out and give them a little bump by hand they will work all day. If the truck sits a couple days, the wipers wont work, even more frequent if it is cold outside.

edited to add, I have a 2013, my dealership "can't replicate the problem" on anything that I have asked them to fix, and am now outside of factory warranty.

yes this is really dangerous also...what happens if they stop while in a rain storm? or while driving in the winter and crap gets blown on your window? what to do you do? all you can do it try and pull over without seeing whats in front.

Possibly the motor going out.

Is it both or one side?

Sounds exactly like the motor starting to give out on other vehicles I've had this happen on, I'd get it fixed asap, you don't want it to take it's dying breath while you're using them in bad weather
