What is wrong
The screw that secures the wiper switch at one location and which also provides a ground for the wiper circuit, loosens as the switch is operated over a long period of time. As the screw continues to loosen the ground for the wiper circuit is intermittently or completely lost.
The risk
The intermittent or complete loss of the wiper circuitground causes the wipers to operate erratically or not at all, resulting inreduced visibility for the driver in inclement weather conditions.
The fix
Relocate the wiper switch ground wire attachment on the steering column.
