Windshield Wipers

Hey guys, I saw the little bit in the most recent issue of TDR about windshield wipers and it reminded me about mine. On my 05, it will wipe about 3 times on delay, then stop for the normal delay. Also sometimes it will not work at all on the delay, but if I switch it to just normal wipe it will work, but when I turn it off it stops the wipers right where they are at the moment. Very annoying

I had the dealer replace the multi-function switch under warranty, but it still does it. What are the odds of getting a defective switch? There is no delay box or anything is there? Maybe the motor itself is bad?

Thanks in advance
