Default Intermittent wipers not working

I have already changed out the multifunction switch, but still have the same issue.

Any thoughts?
In the fuse box under the hood, check the relay marked wiper park… swap it with another relay to find out if it works then you know that relay is bad. A good relay to swap is the mirror heater relay.

in the fuse box under the hood, there’s a relay labeled wiper park. Try swapping it with another relay like your mirror heater relay if it works then that relays bad.

Dragiton, this was so three years ago... My 2004 needed the complete regulator (twice) the original was replaced by an aftermarket from PartHaus and again under warranty by another company under PartsHaus for free (my labor) Keep Your Receipt!
