Default Anyone have their intermittent wipers stop working?

My damn intermittent wipers will work maybe one swipe, maybe up to about 3, than just stop working. I replaced the Integrated Control Unit with one at the junkyard and it seemed to work fine then. But when I actually drive in the rain when I need it they don't work. Anyone have this problem before?

My power windows and wipers don't work if the relay panel wiring is hanging low. I hold it up w/ my foot while driving or car turned on and they work perfectly. Anyone know a way to fix that?

Joining the bandwagon.

havent tried to fix it yet.

I've got a few other irritating problems:

1 - Turn on the cigarette lighter and my stereo shuts off
2 - rear wiper will wipe, but if I spray the rear window while wiping, it stalls until I stop spraying and then starts moving again
