The problem is something to do with the windshield wiper motor or something. At first they would stop just anywhere, and I would have to get out and move them back and forth to start them again, then when I would turn them off, they wouldn't turn off. This happened again and again, them going out at assorted times. Finally, now they make a grinding sound but will not come on at all.

Consumer pulled of the road and waited until the rain stopped. The relay switch or mechanism is mounted on the firewall broke due to the heat, which caused the failure.
