The motor controller controls that. You probably have clogged drain udders in the well that the motor sits in.
Reach your hand in between the brake booster and the fender and feel for the udders. If there hard, there full of junk!
I would check that and See if you can let it dry out. I disassembled mine and used WD-40 to flush out the water. It worked fine after the flush. If you are going to replace the controller or disassemble and clean let me know. There a tricky part that you need to know about.

Set your wipers to delay and turn off the key when they are at " inner wipe" or delay park then mark the tip of the baldes with masking tape on the windshield. When you go to re-install the cam unto the motor, make sure the park lever is 4 to 5 mm from the parking tab.
I went round and round ( no pun intended ) with mine to finally get it installed correctly, here I hadn't had the wipers in the inner-wipe position!
