Default Windsheild Wipers Have A Mind Of Their Own

Well this happened before. They stay up and sometimes when I just turn it back to go up and down once they stay on for a couple times. This happened before and just stopped like a week later. Well it's happening again and getting worse. Sometimes they stop in the middle of the windsheild. They are staying on longer too when when they're off. Anybody know what this problem is? Is there anyway to just reset it and it will go back to normal or what?

I have hte same problem on my beater oldsmobile... sometimes they work good, then when it feels like I go over a bump, they just crap out. But with me it's only when they're on Intermittent. If they are either totally off, or just on low or high, no issue... If I find out anything from my brother in law (he worked on the car last) I'll throw it up here...

Do your intermediate settings work? Maybe bad connection.

What is intermediate settings? Is that where it you set it and it goes every once in awhile. Yeah that still works. But like when you just turn it back instead of turning when it clicks to set that they will stay on like they they are set on intermediate.

Common problem in F-body is the switch(wiper problem happened in 2 of my camaros). Cheap fix, find a used or new control arm switch on Ebay and replace. Most likely it is a bad connection.
