2021 BSOB has 63K miles. The wipers work normally except when in the intermittent position. Nothing happens regardless of the “frequency “ setting. Probably unrelated but the rear window wiper works normally. Any advice would be appreciated.

Did it work previously? If so, the switch on the stalk may have gone bad. First, check the manual to see if there is a fuse or relay for intermittent wiper functions, or the rain sensing function if you have that option.

I’m not near my car right now, I don’t recall if the wiper motor is accessible, if so you can check the wiring at the motor to see if all the connections are good.

Are you sure you have the wiper stalk at the correct position? From the off position, the first position up would be rain sensing, if you have this feature. The second position up would be intermittent/ normal. The third position up is high speed operation.

It worked previously. I’ll check for a fuse. All the other settings work so I doubt it’s wiring or the motor
