The speed control is a circuit board that's built into the motor housing. The often get wet inside and corrode. Its not replaceable by itself. The entire wiper motor assembly and arms need to be replaced. The bad news is that its a little over $100 including the core charge. The good news is that as long as you have a wiper removal tool replacing it is a 15 minute job. I'm don't believe the washer pump is controlled by this board also, but I could be wrong about that.

Mine would work fine for a while, then just run non-stop no matter speed I chose, even off.

Welcome!

The washer pump is controlled by the circuit board, so that could be it, or it could be a bad pump, W/S Relay, or W/S fuse, both in the underhood fuse block.

Thanks Roadie. Given that, I'll bet on a bad motor/circuit board since his slow speed isn't working either. That said, fuses are easy to check and an easy fix.

I know this is an old post but i thought I would revive it. I have the same symptoms as the original posters concern. I did a quick search on ebay and found this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/12463039-Wiper-Motor-Pulse-Board-Module-ACDELCO-OE-SERVICE-/261451194064?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Year%3A2002|Model%3ABravada&hash=item3cdfb49ed0&vxp=mtr would it be advisable to install just this part only?

I dont mind buying the whole motor which is around $50: http://www.ebay.com/itm/15036008-Windshield-Wiper-Motor-ACDELCO-OE-SERVICE-/261451193415?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Year%3A2002|Model%3ABravada&hash=item3cdfb49c47&vxp=mtr

I checked the fuses & relay which are good.
