The windshield wipers on my '97 Mxima stop working on their own sometimes, and will start working again spontaneously minutes later. The problem generally occurs during heavy rain storms, however I have had the problem in lighter rain, and even snow storms. Any Ideas of the cause?
Check to make sure your fuse is set all the way down first. Could be a bad ground too. Check the wiring at the wiper motor and maybe clean the ground and terminals with either alcohol or electric cleaner and make sure the are dry before you plug it back in. It sounds like a power to the wiper motor issue. If that doesn't fix it your wiper motor may have an internal short.

chk pump for noise when engaged humm if not thtere replace pump , if pump operates,chk hoses for leaks usually at r/s cowling under hood , if flow to there replace nozzles

when you turn the wipers on do you hear any sound? If so, then you may have disconnected a ball joint in there behind the firewall - typically the top (black) panel (under the wipers/ at the back of the hood) comes off or you could find other access to inspect more thoroughly to be sure. If no sound, test the power to the wiper motor with a test light, if no power, check fuses, wiring, ground, etc.,
Best regards
