PULSE WIPER SYSTEM PHANTOM WIPE INFORMATION

Model and Year: 1983 AND PRIOR - "C-K" TRUCKS

Some "C-K" trucks equipped with the optional pulse wiper system, RPO CD4, have experienced cases of phantom wipe. These phantom wipes of the windshield wiper arms occur at engine start-up and/or randomly with the wiper system in the "off" position.

To correct any vehicle with this condition, install pulse wipe control module, P/N 15598419. The module is located under the dash to the left of the steering column.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
