Wipers acting up...

Last night after a crazy heavy downpour with hail I hopped in my truck to head home from my shop...and the wipers didn't come on as usual. Then they went half way really slowly, then all the way over, stopped then started working fine.

This morning, same thing....slow to start, working intermittently and then working although slowly.

Most likely culprit to check? Switch or motor?

Thanks

The moving parts under the cowl just may need to be lubed with a good spray lube. Have you tried that?
