My windshield wipers will cut off in the middle of wiping my window, for about a minute, then come back on, for about thirty seconds. They are not doing it consistently either. They will work sometimes for a little then just stop for any given time, then come right back on as if nothing was wrong. If I turn them off they continue to wipe/turn off/wipe, until they finally turn off. I have already taken my truck in to Nissan and they "supposedly" changed out the switch. That was about two years ago. I do not understand why this is happening. Please help!

Check the items pointed out in picture. However, it may be the motor or CPU that is causing the problem. As well the relays may have corrosion on them if they do put dielectric compound on the prongs and reinstall.

Wipers stops working no matter what setting it is on intermittently for approximately twenty seconds. Then comes back on, wipes again, but no consistently of wipes before it quits again.

Might want to check the front wiper relay and the high wiper relay/CPU.

how do you get to the wiper assembly? I think something came undone. The passenger wiper works, but my drivers side stopped working. How do I get to the cover off?
