The wiper motor control module needs replacing. On some models you can replace the "pulse board". On some you must replace the wiper control module which mounts directly to the windshield wiper motor. This is a very common GM problem.

Windshield wipers in my 1989 gmc sierra k1500 only work on high no low or delays

If you raise your hood and look at your wiper motor on the fire wall there is ablack plastic cover over the motor remove that and you will see a chip board that is replacable its usually around $20 or so, which is cheap way to find out if your wiper switch or multifunction switch is bad, since they arwe far more expensive! if the board does not solve your problem then suspect multifunction switch!

1990 GMC Sierra 1500 pickup. Windshield wipers, Cruise Control

May want to look at replacing the wiper circuit board.It is located on the firewall adjacent to the wiper motor and has a some what square black cover with 3 torx screws and wireing harness pluged into the side.We had a truck that every time you washed it the wipers would stay on until it dryed out.You can try removing it and spaying it down with contact cleaner just watch the brease on the two contact tips.Well hope this helps.
