Default wipers not working right

I have a 96 accord LX and the wipers dont work right when you turn them on intermedite setting (where you can adjust the speed) they turn on and off, but they stop where ever you turn the switch off, even if its in the middle of the windshield. Normally they used to return all the way to the bottom, any ideas what wrong? thankyou

i have a similar problem. they work fine if the window is fairly wet if not then they don't got up and almost dont go down all the way. if the window is wet then they like to flyup and hit the pillar especially if i push down just to wipe the windshield real quick. what would cause that would it be the switch or the motor or both ?

check your connections going into the wiper motor.

My guess would be either your switch or your connections to your motors .
