First try taking the cover off the wiper motor gear contacts, and check it/clean it up, and try again.(only three screws IIRC - five minute job).
My guess (if it's not the controller or contacts in the gear assembly) is the brushes on the motor.There are three brushes, the third one for low speed and intermittent (the other two are at 180 deg).The brushes probably need a good clean up rather than replacement.
If you take the cover/casing with the magnets in it off the motor to fix this, mark it first so you put it back the right way around.It's a bit of a fiddle to get the brushes back over the commutator as you reassemble it, but take it slow and easy and you'll manage it. If you put it back together the wrong way, the motor goes in reverse, the wipers still work (kind of) but as the sweep contact in the motor gearbox is going the wrong way, it'll stop with the the wiper blades half way across the screen.That is something that stumps many people - including me for a while.
