Default Window wipers,whats broke???

When i put my wipers on intermitent(first speed) they stop all over the place and when u switch them off they just stop anywhere! However they work fine on the other speeds!

So what is more likely to be broken? the wiper motor or the switch? I need to get this sorted for my MOT!

Thanks!

there's got to be a switch somewhere on the motor that stops it once it kills the power and reapplies it via a relay when it's on that position
if you can find a wiring diagram that would be your best bet

alternativly it may be the stalk thats caboomed
have you tried changing it?
