What's wrong?
The 2013 Stallion 900 transit bus uses a 12-volt to 24-volt power converter in the windshield wiper system. That converter supplies the voltage the wiper controls need so the driver can change speeds and keep the windshield clear. When it works normally, the wipers keep running as speed changes.
On affected buses, the converter's overcurrent or voltage protection circuit activates when it should not. Changing the wiper speed can trigger the converter to shut off, which cuts power to the wiper system and stops the wipers. Stallion traced the fix to the converter circuit board, where removing the D4 diode and R9 resistor deactivates that internal protection while fuses before and after the converter still protect the circuit.
The warning sign is tied to speed changes. A driver can notice the wipers stop after switching wiper speed, with the loss of wiper function happening at that moment.
