Windshield wiper problems

For some reason when my wipers are on intermittent they stutter, like having crummy 2 year old blades on a dry window. But they work perfectly on high and low. All I could find on searches was for the problem of them not stopping, which I also have. I'm wondering if this is probably related. I'll pull it apart and check the contacts when it stops raining. But has anyone else had the problem with the intermittent setting?

Yes I have that problem exactly and now the button for fluid does not work 95% of the time and that button will only trigger the wiper blades 70% of the time without the fluid....I just carry a bottle of windex in the car lol. Anyone have a fix for this?

Idk bout a fix but just get rid of them you don't need them just apply rain x once a month that's what I do plus it looks cleaner. But if it's something with the motor I'll give you mine for shipping.

ah ok....idk i remember my dad used to use it on his 88 monte and when it rained hard you still needed to put the wipers on. not to mention taking your wipers off will make u not pass inspection, so its dumb...... i dont care if you have 20 coats of rain-x, you need wipers

in my experience, rain-x actually works better raining hard. the drops slide right down the windshield instead of just beading up and sitting on it.

On the money, no real need for the wipers.

Rainx is a good idea but I need wipers and fluid for the dirty roads when they are wet and I am behind someone etc...I just thought it was something easy like a resistor module board to change out somewhere...thx.
