So,I'm still trying to figure out which part of the wiper system is malfunctioning...The problem is that snow prevented the wipers from functioning and something within the system (I'm assuming) got burned out. The wiper still work, however, the intermittent setting makes the wipers move back and forth continuously and when the switch is turned off, the wiper arms stop where they are (as opposed to returning to the bottom of the windshield).

I've replaced the wiper switch assembly on the steering column, but the problem persists.

My question to you is: What else is in the wiper system that could be a cause of my problem? The guy at the parts store said some cars have electronics on the wiper motor and that the motor on mine could be causing the issue...

HELP!!!
