Wiper/Washer Mania

[FreeorDie2]

Been driving for a lot of years, but this was a first. I'm driving home for lunch yesterday and all of a sudden, the windshield washer starts pumping like there's no tomorrow. I turned on the wipers and fiddled with everything, but the only way I could get it to stop was to turn the wipers on high! Anything else and the washer started pumping.

Well. . .it eventually ran out of water, so I turned the wipers off. Within a minute or so, the wipers started to move -- a little bit at a time at first, but then they started going at regular speed no matter what the setting was. And the washer was still pumping. I pulled over and yanked the fuse to get it to stop.

Called the dealer and he said bring it in first thing in the morning. I did, but it turned out that the parts (washer module and wiper motor) he thought he had . . .well. . he didn't have them. He'll have them tomorrow.

Anyway, while I was there, the service rep told me that he had already had 4 other vehicles with the same problem in the last month. I'm not sure they were all H2s -- I think some were Chevy SUVs, but I'm not sure. An odd problem. . .
