I have intermittent wipers. When they worked,
they would function at the speed turned to, speed
up, slow down, stop, or work correctly for a while
then do one of the above. Now they have stopped
working altogether. I thought maybe it's the motor,
but a friend thinks it could be the controller itself.
This car is just an around town, salvaged motor ride.
Don't want to spend a lot of cash.

Hi:
To determine if the motor is bad, check to see if there is power to the motor with the wipers on. If there is, the motor is bad.

Just so you know, the computer has nothing to do with the wipers.
