Windshield wipers work than stop. I wiggle wire connector to motor than they will work for a short period. If I am driving down the road, they will stop working and sometimes start working again. I found out that 1994 suburban 4x4 are not on the recall list for the card that has a faulty solder. I have also replaced my drivers side caliper 4 times since purchasing the vehicle in january 2003. I also replaced the brake hose on the drivers side. The calipers seemed to get stuck and would not release.
