“When using wipers they will quit working periodically I can switch to high speed or to intermittent and they will work I can also push the washer fluid button in real quick and they will start working again they may work for a few seconds and quit again and they may work a few minutes and quit again. Freightliner in kingsport tn checked it out on a dry day and said nothing wrong I think it's a problem when it's raining something is getting wet and stopping a complete connection this is a major problem in a 80 thousand pound vehicle to not be able to see when raining”
