Front wipers - Page 2

While on the motorway during heavy rain my wipers stopped working. About 90 minutes later, after being towed to safety and checking the fuse (fuse was fine) the wipers started working again and as the rain had stopped I completed my journey.

When home I cleaned up the connector to the motor and sprayed them with contact cleaner and waited for the next period of heavy rain to see if this would work. To date I have not had the opportunity to test them in heavy rain but while driving in constant drizzle the other day on the intermittent setting they stopped working. I tried the next settings up but no luck. Switched them off and then on again and they started working again. There is no noise from the wiper motor.

Where should I be looking to try and resolve this issue?
