as title states, intermittent wiper not working and all other modes do.

is there secret Hokey Pokey kind of reset to try?

so sing along: you the wiper control up, you put the wiper control down, then you put it up and down……

not a big deal as I have scheduled at the dealer in 1500 miles ( spare me the lecture of taking to dealer for scheduled maintenance, my money, not yours, I have my reasons )

anyone have a similar problem and what you did to resolve

thanks in advance

I believe you should have rain sensing wipers which operate slightly differently than regular intermittent wipers. You have a sensor near the top of the windshield that sees (senses) the rain on the windshield. I believe the rain sensiing can be turned off through the options controlled from the left buttons on the steering wheel then they. operate as regular intermittent wipers.

EUREKA, turns out making adjusts for towing, new to towing, I must have turned Rain Sensing on. Deselected it and things are back to my normal.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I thought something had failed also last winter but then I remembered I had my three grandson playing in the cab and of course he finds every little switch and knob to turn. I learned and I fixed it.
