Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The windshield wiper on my 1996 olds bravada started to work intermittently. the problem, as diagnosed by a gm dealer was a faulty wiper control board/module. this is the fault described on gm recall 03023. but i was told that only some of the 1996 bravadas are covered by this recall (and mine is not). when i first encountered it in june of 2005, i replaced the fuse and everything worked fine for a week or two. then the problem occurred again, replaced the fuse and everything worked fine for a while. this cycle kept occurring until christmas day 2005 when even replacing the fuse did not help. i do not understand how the same exact problem can be covered on some 96 bravadas but not on others. *nm
