wipers quit

I was driving my truck this morning when the wipers quit. Wasn't rain but a heavy fog. I thought they seemed a little slow when first started but they did speed up. I turned them on and off a few times as I needed them. This went on for about 6 miles. The last time I turned them on they started getting slower and slower and then stopped in the park position. Could this be wiper motor or ground issue?

Re: wipers quit

I believe a ground issue they would just stop wherever they were on the windshield.
Running slowly might be a motor seizing up.

Re: wipers quit

Make sure the switch is tight. Circuit grounds through it.
