Wipers
Yes John, we have seen this problem. Usually the wiper motor has been sitting in water because the drains are clogged with crud. You will probably have to repace the circuit board in the motor assy. Be sure to check the three drains under the motor before putting it back together. At each oil change we clean out the drain by reaching under the motor and squeezing the udders.

Just yank them off the bottom of the well. They pop back in the holes just as easy as they pop out. I check mine everytime I wash the car. ZJust stick your hand in the hole and squeeze them. if there hard, there plugged.

Malfunctioning Wiper Motor
I have cleaned out the utters which had a lot of debris clogging them up.... in hopes of allowing the components in the Wiper Motor to air dry. It has been a couple of days, and this morning on the way to work the wipers came on all by themselves, only for one swipe across the windshield.
How many days should I anticipate it taking to dry the cuircuit board out, in hopes this wiper issue to cease?
I hope the board hasn't shorted out!
Is there anything else I should try at this point?
