Default Help Needed! Radio and Wiper Issue

Hey guys. Have a 93 Cherokee and my wipers and radio/speakers keep cutting out on me. Checked fuses and everything's good. I've noticed there is a module of some sort under the lower dash, its attached with velcro, and when I move it around a little everything will work for minute but eventually it'll cut out again. Need advice/opinions on what to do. I appreciate any help

you need to get underneath the dash with a flashlight and look for lose connection and find out exactly what or which connection is causing this. if the wipers only would cut out the velcro thingy is for your wipers speed module but you say your radio is acting up too that both together aims towards ignition switch failure.

i bet your blower motor is acting up too ?

The blower motor actually works! But I opened the module and it looked like some of the of the connections had some type of corrosion on it. I'm gonna try find another module at a junkyard, but I'll also change the ignition switch as well considering the Jeep is 25 years old. I appreciate the help!

my wiper speed module was broke too, you can actually remove the module and both plugs plug into each other without the module and your wiper will work but you wont have all speeds.

now to clarify something, if this module will fix your wipers and wont act up again and only the radio does and since your blower motor is working fine there could just be faulty wiring on the radio and doesnt have to be the ignition switch necessary altho they are known to act up after so many years.

if it is your ignition switch this is probably what it will look like burnt connection, this is what mine looked like after 20+ years.
