Intermittent Wipers Not Working!!
I cleaned the grease and dirt off of the metal points and tracks, and then had to lightly scratch the surface of the connections to show some metal in some spots, as simply removing the grease and dirt wasn't enough to fix my problem. (this may cause these areas to rust or allow for corrosion to build up down the line, I don't know. But it's working now)
Level of difficulty. 1/5
Hope this helps.
If anyone tackles fixing this, a how-to thread with pix would be nice. I didnt realize this issue was so common as mine does the same thing. It has just been a quirk i put up with and have for a couple of years now and it really doesnt cause any real problem for me. Yet, anyway. Low and high work fine but on intermittent, at any speed, i might get 1 swipe or i might get 2 or even sometimes 3. I havent seen it not swipe at all yet.
Hey guys, If you are still wanting to try the diy approach, i just posted one.

Youtube 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 Multifunction switch Replacement
My truck was acting a fool. The intermittant switch never worked right. I replaced the multifunction switch and it worked perfect. Don't take it to the dealership. They will charge you to remove the stearing wheel and you don't have to. Get a new switch from the dealership $119 and it takes 5 minutes.
