Sounds as if the wiper switch may be a fault. are you able to test the circuit through the switch with a multi meter?

There are two wiper relays that I would check because I think that is your problem.

Here is a guide and some wiring guides to help you do some easy testing/replacing:

Please let us know what happens.
