Intermittent Wipers

For some reason my intermittent wipers stopped working completely. I'm not sure when it happend, but I just changed my alternator. Let me know if there is a fuse to check or anything. I have a 92 SE

No delay, the regular wipers work fine, low and high that is, just no intermittent.

Let me ask you this, when the wiper switch is in low or high position then you turn the switch off do the wipers return to the bottom of the windshield as they should. If they stop exactly where you turn off the switch instead of returning to the bottom of the windshield it's your wiper relay that's bad.

Even though I understand your post I wanted to throw this one in there for that just in case.

They return to the bottom. They work perfectly except for the intermittents.

You mean the twisty thingy where you determine the speed that they move? Maybe a bad switch/twisty thingy?

you might be able to get better answers from the 4th gen section as our vehicles are not as fancy as your laddidda 4th gen j/k i have one too, but seriously go to the 4th gen section for better assistance

FSM -> trace back wiring from intermitent circuit to where it meets the security system. start at that wiring point and work your way back to the battery.
