Default Wipers INT speed stopped working

All the other speeds work fine. The INT speed simply stopped working, or when used, will only move the wipers at some point, then again perhaps 5 minutes later or not at all..again, the faster speeds are working fine..any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

According to the manuals, check the Common DIY Threads for a link where to get one.

Test the switch and then the relay.

The relay is under the under hood fuse panel-pic has the testing procedure

Get one, a bit of wire will also be needed. From there we can help with testing the relay....there are other tests so this is just step one.
