Could be a bad multi-switch or the wiper motor speed control board. My wipers were actin' funny and I went to replace the board and found it had come loose (disconnected) plugged it back in and no more wiper problems.
*Also, on the multi-switch, I had headlight issues and found loose wires to the switch was the problem. You might check that out too as maybe the wires to the wiper are loose.
