    My wipers suddenly stopped working. Fuse is fine and have power at the motor but still nothing. Bad ground?

    The wiper motor just got old and failed.

    That's my thought as well. Now off to find a new one! OPGI has some but looking elsewhere. Thanks!

    As long as we are on the subject. The wipers on our '62 LeSabre will not shut off. I had to unplug them. If I plug them back in, with the switch off, they won't come back on until I turn them on. But, again, will not shut off. Ground strap is good. Switch or motor?

    the experience that i had on my '72 gs, was similar to yours. My wipers, when activated, eventhough they were two speed, would run at one speed only. If i turned the switch off, they would continue to run. I had to shut off the ignition and then they would park. Solution was to reattach the ground wire of the wiper switch to its designated ground spot under the dash. solved my problem.
