What should I do if my Chevy Traverse windshield wipers aren’t working?

The spring rains are really coming down here in Louisiana, but I can’t get my wipers to do their thing. Why would the windshield wipers on my Chevy Traverse not work?

Oh no! I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble with your
Chevy Traverse
! Windshield wipers are vital when driving in wet conditions!
You most likely have a broken wiper motor or need a new wiper control switch.
For parts and labor, a windshield wiper motor replacement for a
Chevy Traverse
costs about $300 to $350. You’ll pay between $190 to $220 to replace a faulty wiper switch.
Here are signs of a burned-out wiper motor:
  • Wipers work intermittently
  • Wipers may cut out randomly, like when you hit a bump
  • Windshield wipers won’t turn on at all
You should replace the wiper switch if:
  • You can’t control the windshield wipers
  • Wipers only work on some settings, but not all
  • Wipers don’t turn on when requested
  • Windshield wipers don’t return to parked when turned off
  • The washer fluid pump may run at random or not at all
