Wipers Only Work On Fast, Not On Intermittent And Slow?

I changed both the wiper motor and the gear inside it to make sure  and it fixed the problem. Which of the two it was I'm not sure, but I didn't see the point in swapping the motor without a new gear and vice versa. Hope you get your problem sorted but I think it would be worth getting a new motor and gear, especially if they have been in for quite a while or are looking tired. All the best.

Hi all, recently I noticed that my intermittent wipers stopped working (down on the wiper stick). Not a problem, I'll just manually turn my wipers on and off when I need to. But, a few weeks later the slow wipers have stopped too (moving the wiper stick up once), but my fast wipers are working.

 

Any ideas as to what the problem is?

 

Thank you :)

I'm getting the same issue with the intermittent wiper option but both sloe and fast are working. Interested to know what could cause it as would like it fixed

If that doesn't sort it I'd guess it's a wiring problem? But I reckon that changing both of those will fix it. From asking around they seem to be common to stop working.
