Default Window wiper-strange thing happened

today.I was in a hurry so went to Mister Car wash and drove through express line.Everything was fine,but when I turned on wipers about 15 min later they were not functional,later worked sporadicly (getting stuck in up position ) and then quit all together.I figured it had to be water shorting something (fuse #10 was good) so I went for coffee pretty bumbed out.After about an hour still dead.So I took it on the freeway,run 90-100 mph for few min...and the wipers are working!!! Wonder if the water was somewhere in the ground connection or by the wiper motor?
Has anybody had it happen before?

You may want to edit your post if you want it to last here. None of us run 90 to 100 MPH on freeways.

As for the wipers, time to check the udders and grounds.
