Fixing Windshield Wipers Not Working on 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 T1XX
Tools Required
  • Multimeter
  • Fuse puller or pliers
  • Socket set (typically 10mm for removing the wiper motor)
  • Screwdrivers (flathead and Phillips)
  • OBD-II scanner (optional)
Repair Instructions

Step 1: Replace the Wiper Fuse

  1. If the fuse is blown, replace it with a new fuse of the same rating (usually 20A or 30A depending on the specific circuit).
  2. Ensure the fuse is seated properly.

Step 2: Inspect and Replace the Wiper Motor (if needed)

  1. If the fuse is intact and the motor is not receiving power, proceed to remove the wiper motor:
    • Remove the wiper arms: Use a flathead screwdriver to gently pry off the caps covering the nut, then use a socket to remove the nut holding the wiper arms.
    • Pull the wiper arms off the splines.
  2. Remove the cowl panel screws and clips to access the motor.
  3. Unplug the electrical connector and remove the mounting bolts of the wiper motor using a socket.
  4. Install the new wiper motor by reversing the removal steps:
    • Bolt it in place, reconnect the electrical connector, and reattach the cowl panel.
    • Reinstall the wiper arms and ensure they are positioned correctly.

Step 3: Test Wiper Functionality

  1. Reconnect the battery (if disconnected) and turn on the ignition.
  2. Activate the wiper switch to test if the wipers function correctly.
  3. Check different settings (low, high, intermittent) to ensure full functionality.
Conclusion

If after these steps the windshield wipers are still not operational, the issue may be more complex, potentially involving the Body Control Module or wiring issues. It may be advisable to consult a professional automotive technician for further diagnosis and repair.
