    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!

    Ok, I changed all the normal wiper related parts including the multifunction stalk. Mine was dirty, greasy contacts inside the wiper motor. The rotary switch just needed to be cleaned, contractors brightened up with scotch bright, lightly greased, and reassembled. Problem solved.👍😃Thank you!🙏

      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.

  • @venomouscomics1625

    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.

  • @PGE564

    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
      @LHHomestead  10 месяцев 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.

    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
      @LHHomestead  11 месяцев назад +2

      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!
