Default window wiper problem

i have a 1988 4+3, car runs great but i have a annonying problem with wipers.i can not be the only one with this problem.sometimes the wipers work correctly sometimes they do not. sometimes when i put the wipers on pulse or low they will not come on right away.but if i put them on high they always work. if they are on pulse or low after a minute or two they will start to work correctly. its frustrating as hell. anybody has any thoughts it would be appreciated. thanks mike

Maybe clean your wiper switch. Mine acts up as well.

It'll be either the wiper switch or the circuit inside the wiper motor housing. Hopefully it's the switch.

Also, make sure all the covers screws are tight. One of them is responsible for ground to cover electronics.

Here is some insight from my 86 FSM.
