Relationship with wipers and brakes?

[rammertide07]

When slowing down at a red light in the rain...I noticed a little pulse, like something was tapping the bottom of the brake pedal everytime the windshield wipers hit the bottom of its stroke. And if I turn the wipers off it stops doing it. It also fills like my truck seems sluggish at idel, like it doesnt want to go when I press the pedal. I just bought a new cps....see if that affects anything

I have noticed that relationship with the wipers and brake peddle from day one. Just don't know what it is...

the brake master cylinder is near the pivot point on the firewall for the drivers's wiper blade and you're simply feeling the abrupt change of direction of the wiper arms transmitted through the firewall. There is a possibility that some of the bushings on the wiper arm linkages are worn out these can be checked by pulling the cowl plate off of the truck if memory serves me right.

I'm glad Brandon had an answer, because I was gonna tell you both to quit smoking the ganja..

I pulled the relay that was there for my trailer plug. Now the 12v lead to the plug is always hot, not just when the truck is on. I've had it this way for years and I have never had a dead battery from overnight dry camping.
