Default Windshield wiper issues.

For some reason my wipers only come on when I turn them on high or use the wash feature. Once I've turned them on to High, they will work on Low, and stay in the "ready" position through delay but never actually make a swipe. Then they go down normally once I turn them to off. If I just turn them from off to delay nothing happens though.

Anyone know what this gremlin might be?

The delay board likely is done. it has the park switch/delay circuit inside of it.
Replace the motor/ w/ a reman it should come complete w/ a board on it.

Anything I should look for to ensure the new one has a new board? or is it possible to get just the board? These little gremlins are making it look like she's not getting a hood for christmas! LOL

I had problems with my wipers also I suggest you stay away reman motors and buy a used on the board from someone who is parting out there car.The reman motors don't come with the delay board and if yours is shot your than your f*cked.I bought a used on for $ 25 after I brought reman motor and found out the hard way. The parts store would not refund my money.

thats the only way you can get a new board. no aftermarket company has the tooling to reproduce them

There out there in the aftermarket. If you get a decent reman it wont be a problem.
the board has the electrical connector on it for the motor. Thats how you know if it is there.
