You don't have to tell me about that!!!!
They don't like to move in low. They work on fast.
I've only got under 72,000 on it.
Watch out for all the f---ing rust already!
I got one of the first TJ's. I guess they weren't
quite ready for primetime yet. One rust hole on
the left fender. Holes in the gas tank skid.
I rinsed the underside good after mud and snow.
I thought. (That must have been the problem :)

Re: intermittent wipers
You could very easily be describing a failed ground.
The low needs a strong connection to work properly and the park needs a
good body ground to work.
The park signal is a second power line that feeds the motor and grounds
via a circular brass plate connected to chassis ground with a hole.
When the wiper arms turn so the hole in the circular plate hits the
contact, they are parked.
I would run a booster cable from the battery negative to the wiper motor
to see if that fixes it. If so, I then would start cleaning connections
and bolts that hold the motor on.
You could also have a corroded plug and socket.
Mine crapped out in the middle of a swamp 1000 miles from home with 3500
miles left in the trip to get back home. The windshield hinges decided
they didn't want to pass power anymore.... I ran a dedicated jumper
ground wire to the motor and it has never wiped so fast!
Now if I could just get the schematic or the part numbers from a CJ7
intermittent module's components, I could get that back too. It is just
a few diodes and resistors in a plastic box that DC wants $500.00
freaking dollars for! Mine got killed by ice. The wipers froze and let
the smoke out of the box before I could get them loose.

I'll take my torx drivers and a clip lead out with me. I hope it's
something simple like that. I'll google for an intermittent wiper
diagram later. I'll let you know what I find. I've also got some
electronic circuit sites bookmarked.

I'll take my torx drivers and a clip lead out with me. I hope it's
something simple like that. I'll google for an intermittent wiper
diagram later. I'll let you know what I find. I've also got some
electronic circuit sites bookmarked.

Waterproof electrical system my ***..........
I took the whole assembly out because the three bolts holding the
motor down were loose. When I turned the assembly over, a bunch of
semi-rusty water poured out of the motor. I removed the rubber
cover and there was water in the contacts around the gear portion
of the motor. What a cheap French made part. I'll have to plop down
$117 for a new motor. I'll seal the new one's electrical connections
with some coax-seal.
This makes a multifunction stalk, a turn signal switch and a headlamp switch to go
with a wiper motor. Did I say rust before? I'm glad my invoice was only $15,618.
The bushings on the front are going. I need another steering dampener. Which Rancho?
It will be 9 years old on 12-20. It's almost like it's going on 90!
