So I replaced the fuse but no change. they do change from low to high speed but not intermittent or off! I leave the fuse out until I need to use them. I played with the arms to make sure there was nothing obstructing their end point for triggering the OFF switch ( wherever it is located, lol ).
Anyone know what could be the cause?

also if it is the motor, where can I find a replacement? Is it the same as a windshield wiper PUMP?
Or a relay replacement?

Thanks to anyone who can help!

I'd put money on the switch. When my 3/s rear wiper didn't turn off, it was a bad switch.

Try switching the relay with another and see what that does.

If your wipers move at all, it's not the motor. And since the only relay in the wiper system is in the intermittent circuit itself, if it was bad, it would only account for the intermittent mode not working.

It's most likely your wiper mode switch that has a fault. Whether it's just a misaligned, dirty, or burnt contact, or something else that can be repaired without having to buy an entire new switch you'd only know if you took it apart.
