My blazer has some electrical problems. Imagine that lol !!! My windshield wipers work, but only speratically. Usually when it isn't raining. Any ideas on how to fix this?

May take some diagnosing on this one. Could be the motor or the switch. The next time they don't work, open the hood while the wipers are turned on, and tap (gently) on the wiper motor. If they start, it's a bad motor. If that doesn't work, you'll need to determine if you are getting power to the motor during the inoperation. If you are, it's either a poor connection or poor ground at the motor. If you aren't getting power to the motor, more than likely the wiper switch, itself.

You gotta love it - "they work when it isn't raining" !! GM at its best for sure. Do as Loren suggests and check with GM dealer with VIN handy. There was a recall (not sure if expired or anyone is still employed in that department) but there was a resistor plate (board?) that went bad and could do just that. If motor has been replaced since new hope you can find the papers - GM has re-imbursed folks for replacements made but it is getting late by now,
