My 2008 Avalanche ltz was parked on the street during a snow storm, after I started it I turned the wiper switch to delay to clear the small amount of snow on the windshield. The wipers moved form park to approximately 1/3 of full travel and stopped. I cleared the windshield with a brush and drove home (1 mile) with some difficulty. I started to troubleshoot the problem, and came to what I thought was a solution, multi-function switch was bad. Replaced switch, sill no wiper movement. Checked the plug at the motor for power (again), power at the plugs hot terminal was 11.8V, turned switch to on (slow speed) and no power to any other pin, now I am stumped. Guess I have to call the dealer.

I have had 5 Avalanche 3 07S 2 08S all have dash cracking issues the breaking dashes crack cause glare in drivers eyes noises that can take Focus off the road every one I've owned it's happened GM used a proprolyene dash that gets brittle when introduced to heat. This is known by GM as a defect but U guys have not enforced them to fix it's a extremely expensive fix labor is high and I'm 5 for 5 on cracking dashes. 3 have cracked so bad that when the sun hit them they throw glare toward my eyes. It needs to be addressed this is crappy. Just like GM and the crappy Cadillac srx headlights they know it's a defect then fix
