hey guys!!! it has rained alot in new york lately.. with that being said it happened to be sunny finally this past sunday so i took my c5 for a hand wash. when i got out of the car wash the wipers started acting up the would go up about 3 inchs then go back to the off setting. it did this a few times and then got stuck on the 3 inch setting. since then when i turn the car on the wipers move a lil bit, but they do not go on. If i turn the switch to high sometimes it will work. i checked the fuse first it was fine. also i looked into new moter for the wipers and they are looking about 350 to get the job done. any suggestions on how i could solve this problem myself before i fork out the cash is there anything i can do to make them go back to normal????

PS: i posted this in the tech section also so dont yell at me about it. i just figured this section could help also!

Welcome to the New York Rain Festival. I hope they'll have Corvettes in the parade.

P.S. If it comes down to needing a new wiper motor, check out some of the online parts suppliers. They can be had for a lot less than $350
