The wipers work when you turn them on high or when you click through the intermittent settings. If you leave it on one the intermittent settings, they do not wipe again.

I read that it was a pulse control board, but I don't think this model has one. What controls this that needs to be replaced.

Hi,

What you described sounds like the switch itself is faulty. However, there was also a recall on the wiper motor itself for overheating issues that could have caused a fire. Something may be resulting from that issue.

I attached the recall information for you below. If you aren't sure if the motor was replaced, contact a dealership with your VIN number and see if they have record of it being replaced.

Try this and let me know the results.

Take care,

Joe
