and cannot find it. autozone, oreilley, advance auto, salvage yards, or dealers dont carry it. Other day my wipers quit and my windshield washer quit.

i checked fuse and its good. I know my wiper motor is good because i ran a hotwire to battery and it worked. I have a board called a pulse board that controls the delay and it went bad. WTF DO I DO? my truck spins in grass and mud puddles (then windshield gets dirty and cant clean it LOL) and cant use wipers. i used to love this s10 now i hate it.

only thing i still love is my true dual exhaust with glasspacks

edit: you can buy windshield wiper motors but they dont give pulse delay boards

if you know what part it is then why not just remove it yourself. can't expect salvage yard people to know every little part on the vehicles they generally only mess with large pieces.

I always go to u-pull-it, cuz I have no confidence in salvage yard mechanics.

lol they are easy to remove. has a plastic cover and you unplug a connector. i called to see if they had one there before driving over there.
edit: they knew what the part was they said they just dont have any.

in my experience most of them know how to yank a motor and tranny pretty quickly...thats pretty much the only skills i rely on at salvage yards lol.

as long as they have a truck or two mostly together in your year model its safe to say no one has probably went for this minor part before.

i honestly would rather not get that part at a salvage yard being a small circuit board like that. looks like thats where its going to end up being though. gotta think you wont know if the board is good or not until you put it in. also not sure if thats what my whole problem is.
