- Faulty Wiper Motor: The wiper motor is responsible for driving the wiper blades. If the motor fails or is damaged, the wipers will stop working.
- Blown Fuse: If the fuse for the wipers has blown, it will interrupt the power supply to the wiper motor and cause the wipers to stop working.
- Faulty Wiper Switch: The wiper switch controls the operation of the wipers. If the switch is damaged or faulty, it may not be able to send the proper signals to the wiper motor, causing the wipers to stop working.
- Worn-Out Wiper Blades: If the wiper blades are old and worn out, they may not be able to make good contact with the windshield and will not be able to clear the rain or snow effectively. This could also cause the wipers to stop working.
- Electrical Connection Issues: There could be an issue with an electrical connection in the wiper system. Loose wires or damaged connectors can affect the flow of electricity to the wiper motor.
- Computer Issue: In modern vehicles like your 2001 Suburban, the wiper system may be controlled by the vehicle's computer system. If there is an issue with the computer or its programming, it can disrupt the operation of the wipers.
If you are unable to identify and fix the problem yourself, it would be best to take your Suburban to a qualified mechanic for diagnosis and repair. They can accurately identify the source of the issue and perform the necessary repairs to get your wipers working again.
