Default windshield wiper problem

Hi,

I have a 98 ext cab pickup and am having intermittent windshield wiper issues. Works one time and not the next. Was driving yesterday while raining and wipers would not work, got to where I was going and in the parking lot they started working again. Any thoughts as to what might be the problem?

might be the wiper board, I know you can fix it by soldering it

Tap the wiper motor with a small hammer when it does not work, if the come on there is your problem.
