wiper motor or switch?
ok, so my windshield wipers only seem to work on full speed, any other setting and they just stop mid-wipe. is there any way to figure out if its the switch or the wiper motor causing this?
i didnt bother to fix it all summer because it was so dry, now that the weather has changed its just pi$$ing me off haha.

Find your intermittent wiper module (pic below) left kick panel, unplug it and plug the two connectors together. If they still don't operate normally (minus the intermittent feature), it's probably the wiper motor.

These intermittent modules are notorious for burning through the printed copper circuits I pulled mine, popped it open and found a cooked circuit. I jumped the burnt part with a strand of copper wire and voila, they worked again... for a couple weeks. Then POP, another circuit burned. I fixed that and it worked for a month or two before burning through another one. I gave up and now just live with on or off.
Plugging the two ends together didn't work for me.
