#285 of 355 Winshield Wipers only work on "HIGH" and no Cruise Control by redcurlz Mar 06, 2009 (3:22 pm)
I have a 1998 Chevy Silverado - Extended cab - Long bed. Why is it that only my wipers will work on "High" and if I shut them off when their moving thats where they stop. They don't return down to the bottom of my windshield. My cruise control wont work either. Can I just replace that lever on the steering column? Thanks for anyone input.

#286 of 355 Should my drivers side window stop working when its hot outside??? by redcurlz Mar 06, 2009 (3:24 pm)
This sounds wierd but it seems that when the temp outside gets above 75deg my window wont open. It's electrical so can I just replace the switch on the door or is it more complicated you think? Thank a bunch for the input.

Replying to: redcurlz (Mar 06, 2009 3:22 pm) That definitely sounds like the place to start. Usually when several functions on that lever act up together, replacing the assembly cures it.   kcram - Pickups/Wagons Host Replies to this message: akjbmw (Mar 08, 2009 11:25 pm)

I have owned this truck from the start and it was getting around 20 MPG not pulling,I have a 38 ft 5er and in the past I could get 14 MPG give or take. After leaving Utah and heading to Salida Co when twice this thing over heated to the point both the engine temp and the trans temp went all the way over,it boiled out the antifreeze to the point I had to add a half gallon. This truck has pulled the Mountains two to four times and never had a problem. Since this happened my fuel milage has gone down to about 11 to 14 empty. GM said they don't find a thing wrong,so if I leave AZ. pulling my 5er what the heck you think I'm going to get. Trading it is the last thing I want to do,any ideas??????????? Is it the computer its got me. Seabeemax

Replying to: kcram (Mar 07, 2009 3:42 pm) A couple years ago, my '98 K1500 Silverado developed a wiper issue. I seldom used the cruise control (can't go anywhere without up and down hills here in the Sierras) so I don't know if it was affected. The fix for mine was the controller "black box" that is attached to the side of the wiper motor. Get the box from Napa (or equivalent), remove the wiper assembly, replace the part, and reinstall. No more problems. With my new truck, I will have to use a ladder to do that...

#294 of 355 2002 Silverado 4x4 under hood 40 amp ?stud 1 & 2 Fuse? by pleasehelp5 Mar 23, 2009 (3:05 pm)
Anyone know what these fuses go to? I only have the diagram on the cover and it says stud#1 and on the other end is stud#2.They're the big colored fuses. I was trying to see if the fuse to my w/w pump went out, and I noticed the "stud#1 was blown. I replaced it and it's still good,but I cant figure out what it goes to. I looked in the chiltons and they got nothing. Please Help   Never mind......I figured it out. Its for the acc. power and trailer wiring feed. Thanks anyway
