Re: 95 Lincoln town car--intermittent wipers do not work...
Sounds like the slip ring in the wiper motor has a strip missing from it,if so you need a new wiper motor,parts for wiper motors are next to impossible to find.

Hi Justin , Do you know what a SJB - smart junction box is and where it is located on you escape ? Windshield Wiper Operation
The smart junction box (SJB) supplies power to the multifunction switch from the SJB fuse 25 (20A) when the ignition switch is in the ON or ACC position. The multifunction switch supplies power to the windshield wiper motor for the HIGH or LOW/INTERMITTENT input, depending on the multifunction switch position selected. The SJB also supplies power directly to the windshield wiper motor from fuse 25 (20A) when the ignition switch is in the ON or ACC position for RUN/PARK operation. When the multifunction switch is in the LOW, HIGH, or INTERMITTENT position, power is supplied to the windshield wiper motor, which moves the wipers off the park position. Once the wipers are off the park position, an internal switch in the windshield wiper motor switches to the run/park position which directs power to the wiper switch then back to the wiper motor. This maintains power to the windshield wiper motor to complete the wipe cycle. When the cycle is complete, the internal switch in the windshield wiper motor switches back to the park position. If the multifunction switch is in the LOW or HIGH position, power is supplied from the multifunction switch and another wipe cycle starts. If the multifunction switch is in the INTERMITTENT position, the windshield wipers remain parked until the internal relay in the multifunction switch supplies power to the windshield wiper motor. The internal relay supplies power after a time delay that is determined by the 1 of 9 intermittent switch settings.
Intermittent wipers are controlled by mufti-function switch (under steering wheel). However, Ford saw fit to include a 'rain sensor'. Located Windshield Front Center. Please provide more info if this doesn't help.
THERE IS AN INTERMITTENT WIPER MODULE [ BLACK BOX ] BEHIND THE DASH, ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. APROX. IN LINE WHERE YOUR RIGHT KNEE WOULD BE, JUST ABOVE THE AIR BAG MODULE. WIRE COLORS ARE ORANGE DK. GRN. BLK. BLK--PINK BRN--WHITE DK BLU--ORANGE YEL--RED RED WHITE
Sounds like your intermittent wiper circuit is defective. Normally the intermittent feature is engaged by one of the functions on the multi-function switch (usually on the steering column). The circuit of the intermittent wiper periodically activates a relay that closes across the "Wiper On" switch. Your intermittent wiper circuit is likely defective and holding its relay closed (or the relay is stuck closed), thereby keeping the wipers on. Note: The wiper motor has an internal switch that opens when the wipers are in the park position and that is designerd to stop the wipers in the park position. When you turn on the wipers (or the intermittent relay is closed), the motor's internal switch is shunted such that the wiper does not stop at the park point of the cycle.
