kind of, after i did my fuel pump it started working again, now i did take all the relays down there out and check for water, so it could have been something like that dried it out or the problem just corrected itself. i'm thinking i need a switch though cuz when i just pull it down it does nothing, only works when i twist it.

Wiper motors usually have a thermal protection for overload... but it's slow acting so the contact of the ground strap cooks.
Wire a temporary ground wire from the motor body to the negative of the battery. If this fixes the problem, then open the motor and solder the ground strap around the rivet. If this doesn't fix the problem, then swap relays with good ones. I usually have half a dozen spares in the back from the JY. Open the relay casing and polish the contacts with the finest nail file you can steal from her make-up case, close it up and store in a ziplock for spare (don't forget to carry the spare in the car).

dansgt....my wipers acted the exact same way....worked ok in "on" mode but very erratic in "intermittent" mode...it was as if when they were supposed to return to the "park " position they wouldnt do it , maybe even stop in the middle of the windshield.
Apparrently , inside the wiper motor there is a "park" switch feature which allows the wipers to stop at the bottom of the windshield during int use or when off, I had been told that you can remove the wiper motor and attempt to clean the switching inside it....however, before I got to it....they quit in the middle of the windshield and thats all she wrote.The fuse was blown and it blew another one instantly . I found a used wiper motor at a local junkyard and replaced it.....all works good now. Interestingly enough though, there was melted epoxy running out of the old motor when I took it out. Granted ...this MAY not be your problem, but it sure sounds familiar by your description. Let us know what you find.
