2005 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 - Intermittent wiper problem

Hi, here is an odd-ball problem I need some help with. My wipers work on the low speed and high speed settings but not on any of the intermittent wiper settings. I have a wiring diagram for my truck but it is not the most helpful in diagnostics. Here is what happens...You can turn the wipers on low and they work. You can turn them to high and they work. Now, if you initially turn them to intermittent, they don't work in any intermittent position. If you switch them from low speed to intermittent, they keep on wiping on slow and will eventually stop. Now based on my wiring diagram, I don't think there is a problem with the motor connections. I am guessing it is either the body control module or the multi-function switch. Does anyone know of a method to determine where the fault is? Thanks a lot. Al

2008 Dodge Ram wipers would work on intermittent and regular speed, but stop when switched to high speed. Now won't work at all except for short movement occasionally when switched on.

What is the relay location in the relay box

The problem would be in the stalk controller. The wiper Relay is what provides power to the motor for all settings, the delayed wipers, low speed, and high speed. There are not 3 relays, but 1 for all functions. If you have power to the high setting, the relay is working.

Wipers don't work in high speed and when intermittent wipers are set they stop in the middle of the windshield.

Yes that is likely a switch problem. Before you buy any parts have a shop confirm my guess.

Wipers do not work in intermittent position. They do work in low and high speeds but do not automatically return to the park position. They stop wherever you turn the switch off.

i belive that your wiper switch has gone out on the intermittent side. this is a very common problem.
I hope this helps you
Thanks
