Sounds to me like the wiring going up through the steering column to the multi-function switch is shorted somewhere along the line. Do your windshield wipers work?

Yes the wipers work but only on low and high not intermittently and the wind shield washer doesn't work either

Yep, that wiring going to the multifunction switch probably got pinched and is shorted somewhere inside the steering column.
