Just say an earlier post about a guy that is experiencing the exact same problem as I. the wipers only work on hi or lo, not at all on "intermittent". An expert said he thought it was a relay in the wiring, OK no where do I hunt to locate the relay? anyone know where or how to start this fix? thx B.Kahuna
First off all cars have a FSM factory service manual.
and the chapter on wipers even tells you how it works.
and with a full schematic.
why work blind, just guessing and flaying about like robot in lost in space. (funny to watch tough)
why do an internet search and read 10000, wrong ways or wild guessing to do something , do you like lies and pain, that it.
here, its bad muffler bearings, doing that....
its a motor and a switch.
if intermittent, then it has what is called a intermittant controller module. and what is that, a timer and a transistors is what that is.
a motor, switch and timer.
simple as can be, a DC motor. if you know what DC motor is
then you know it needs to be controlled,
after all it would break the wipers in half if not controlled
so lets look at your car, ever heard of mitchell's DIY online
this is a virtual FSM book
we look there first to see how yours is wired, guessing will NOT WORK, in electrics, sorry but IT DONT
if you dont know how something works how can you fix. it.
sure wild guessing.
when dont guessing and wasting big bucks in worse time.
we get the drawing.
and see what.
answering for 2001 Rodeo , no SPORT RODEO.
cb17 is fuse wiper
feeds the switch wiper
if high works and low works an not int. then what is bad the interm. controllers
marked alarm relay control unit
did someone defeat the ALARM , if yes, wana bet that killed dead
the intermittent wipers, sure would.
the red arrow is INT wire to alarm box.
be wise of all to check fuses first
then check for alarm hacks.!!!
There should be a control unit behind the glove box that handles the delay wiper circuit. I don't know if there is a relay there or not.
You might want to do some internet research on the topic.

This problem is often caused by a faulty relay on the alarm module.
The module has three identical relays on it, one for the front wipers, one for the rear wipers, and one for something else. You can probably find a small 12V relay at your local Radio Shack. If not, Mouser Electronics (www.mouser.com) sells everything you need.
Remove the alarm module (A & C module - under the glove box). You might also want to remove the keyless remote box and the support bracket to give you more room to work). Desolder the relays and install new ones. You'll need a small soldering iron (about a 40 Watt) with a pencil tip, a solder removal bulb (solder ******), some desoldering braid, and some rosin core solder. Be careful with the heat around other components on the board. Too much heat may damage one or more of the surrounding chips or relays. Once the new relays are soldered in, slide the board back into the plastic module, snap it together, and reattach it under the glove box.

Yes, there is linkage that connects the two wipers. A nylon ball and socket joint connects the two, it wears out and can pop apart. By removing the black plastic grate at the edge of the hood the linkage can be accessed and popped back together. This may last for quite a while if high speed and snow slop is avoided. New parts can come from dealer or junk yard.
i belive that your wiper switch has gone out on the intermittent side. this is a very common problem.
I hope this helps you
Thanks

Hi , I am having that issue, it the circuit box the one that says alarm and white ???
Attached to the wiper motor assembly is an electronic module on a metal bracket. Inside the module is a relay and after some years its contact become worn. I opened the module on my 2000 rodeo TF dual cab and replaced it with Jaycar part number SY4066 for less than A$5 When soldering the relay to the PCB best to resolder the module connector pins as the often fatigue and crack. This must be a common problem because a module bought from a wrecker had same problem
same relay as Panasonic JS1-12V-F
