Windshield wiper grimlins

My windshield wipers work, but it seems like only when they want to turn on, sometimes they come on as soon as I turn the switch and sometimes they turn on 5-15 minutes after I turn them on. I dont know what this could be, possible the motor going out? Anyone got any info on this? Its getting into the raining season out here so its getting to the point where I cant drive my car anymore due to not being able to see the road. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Re: Windshield wiper grimlins

Turn your wipers on full. If they're not working at the time, pull the connector at the motor and probe it with a meter. If the voltage isn't getting there, replace your wiper switch. It's the lever on your steering column. Ebay has 'em left and right for cheap.
