SUBJECT:
WINDSHIELD WASHER STREAKING OR POOR PERFORMANCE - REPLACE WASHER CONTROL MODULE AND WIPER
BLADES
MODELS AFFECTED: 1988-89 RIVIERAS AND REATTAS
Some 1988-89 Rivieras and Reattas produced before the VIN breakpoints KH402818 and KB900906 may experience streaking or poor performance
from the "wet-arm" windshield washer system. This may be caused by the volume of windshield washer solvent delivered to the wet-arm wiper blades.
During operation of the washer system, solvent is delivered only on the up-sweep of the wiper blades. To repair this condition, a new washer control
module (part number 22087513) which is currently available from GMSPO, delivers solvent on both the up and down sweep of the wiper blade.
Graphite wiper blade inserts will also be available to improve wiper performance, part number 12337035.
Parts are currently available from GMSPO
The washer control module is contained within the windshield wiper motor cover and cannot be replaced independently. To replace the wiper motor
cover:
1.
Disconnect the electrical connector.
2.
Remove cover screws.
3.
Remove the wiper cover.
To install the wiper motor cover assembly:
IMPORTANT:
Always install cover assembly with the wiper in the park position and drive pin in the open area of the cam.
1.
Install wiper cover in position.
2.
Install wiper cover screws.
3.
