Trailblazer Wiper Failure

My 2012 Chevrolet Trailblazer diesel is throwing a curveball. The wipers are completely dead – no response at all! And the error memory is showing a fault. I'm guessing it's a dodgy connection somewhere in the steering column or the wiper switch circuit. Anyone seen this before?

Summary of the thread

It is suggested to check the cable and plug connections, particularly those related to the rain sensor and cruise control, as they might be linked to the wiper switch.

Sounds familiar. I had similar wiper issues with my Trailblazer. Check the cable and plug connection, especially if you have rain sensor and cruise control. Those systems are often linked to the wiper switch.

Interesting. You mean the rain sensor or cruise control could be interfering even if those features seem to be working fine? Was yours a simple fix, or did you have to chase wires?

Yep, exactly. The rain sensor module can cause weird issues. I spent ages troubleshooting it. I'd suggest checking the connections first, but honestly, I ended up taking mine to a workshop. Saved me a ton of time and potentially messing something up further.

Right, I hear you. I'll give the connections a look, but I think a trip to the shop is in order. They reckon around 95€ to sort it, pointing to those exact connections. Thanks for confirming my suspicions!
