The wiper arm has probably slipped off of the motor gears...to fix this, both arms will need to be removed...but first check for a wiper "fuse" Check your owners manual for location...if the fuse is OK, you should still hear the wipers trying to move...after removing both arms, you will have to try the wiper switch and hopefully notice both bases are turning freely...turn the wipers off before turning your car off...this will show you the normal down position...be sure when putting the arms back on that they both remain in the down position before turning them on...hope this helps.
The actual relay is in a box called "alarm" which is mounted behind the glove box under a vent. The alarm part is a chip that dings when you leave the keys in the ignition. The box has other relays including one for the horn. The circuit board and box are a couple of hundred dollars from the dealer, or you can solder in a new relay for the wipers.
On the firewall in the engine compartment. Service Parts ID Plate. To the right of the wiper motor. Marked as V.I.N Also above the LH headlamp and on the chassis in front of the RH rear wheel.
replacing the front wiper motor on the early L series is not difficult. search around in fixya and you will find my instructions somewhere at least twice. do not buy a replacement wiper motor from saturn, they are much cheaper through advance or autozone.
before you begin the repair, make sure your wiper switch is off and note the wipers off position of the crank arm as stamped onto the wiper mount. this will make sense after you have the assembly out of the car and are replacing the wiper motor. if you ignore that mark then the wipers will be in the wrong position all the time.
There is no separate fuse for intermittant. You have a wiper fuse, and that's all. If that part has stopped , you have a probel with the switch, or the circuit board for your wiper motor.
I've fixed this problem before. You have to disconnect the wiper transmission from the wiper motor. Put wipers in off position, unbolt the plate on top of wiper, turn wipers on then off. In the off position see where the wiper transmission is position in relation to where the park position is, remove the top plate from wiper motor and position it so as to be able to reconnect the wiper transmission now in the proper place. Please keep me informed. thanks you
