The problem could be the intermittent wiper module in combination with the wiper switch or in the wiper motor itself. Problems occur with both of these components and only a component pinpoint test can narrow down the problem for you to one or the other.
I recommend having a professional mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, perform an inspection of the wipers for you, following the wiring diagram circuit for the intermittent wiper control on the blue/yellow wire from the switch to the motor, which allows for an accurate repair suggestion.
