Default Windshield wipers don't work sometimes

A few weeks ago, my 08 Z06 windshield wipers didn't work. After having breakfast they worked. Been working since. Until today, today they worked for a few seconds, then stopped. No position worked. After trying some more, they were working again. I have searched on here and have found no solution. I am going to pull the 2 fuses and reinstall, maybe it is a bad connection/dirt in there.
Anyone else have this problem? If so, what is the cure?
Thanks.

Not a problem I recall being discussed here.

I would suspect the switch, intermittent failed contact. I'm not representing that as your answer, just a thought. Good luck.

I pulled the main fuse and the diode, they looked good, and they work after reinstall. But, this is an intermittent problem.
