windshield wipers acting wierd!

It's been really crappy here lately, and my wipers have gotten alot of use. (86 N/A) at low speed, it was kinda chattering, and sometimes would stop all together. same with the intermittent settings. Now neither one works. yet the 2 high speeds work fine. does this sound like a bad motor, or maybe a relay issue?

The forcast is for rain the next couple of days!

Thanks

My wipers make a noise when it's raining and the car is cold, it sounds like a falsetto scream.. well, sort of.. but they work.....

Sounds like you may have some corrosion on the contacts.. (inside the steering column) or your relay is smoked..

When my windshield wiper relay failed, I had no Intermittent, and they would not park when you pulled the wiper switch to off. I new relay saved the day, here in rain-soaked Hawaii!

Sounds like the intermittant relay to me since he said that the two high speeds work fine.

Would the intermittant relay effect low speed as well?

Not sure. It would certainly affect the ability of the wipers to park though.
