Hi there:
There are several individual components that must all work together in order to correctly activate the windshield wipers. However, the most common cause of the issues you’re describing is a bad or failing windshield wiper switch. It could also be the windshield wiper motor relay that is faulty that’s causing this issue. The best way to diagnose this issue is to have a professional mechanic complete a wipers are not working inspection.
