The intermittent wipers do not respond to the control knob after running on lo or hi position for a period of time. They stay on until the vehicle is turned off.

Hello,

This sound like an issue with the wiper switch.
It is likely there is an internal malfunction of the electrical component for the intermittent function and that is why you are having this issue.

Replacing the switch should take care of this issue.
Here is a helpful video of how to replace the switch:

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
