    Anyone know why this would happen. When I put it on Int. they stay on like regular wipers. I have a 2013 Tacoma base. Thanks Randy.

    Since the wipers work, and only the intermittent portion is malfunctioning, I would say the switch is bad. You can get a new one from eBay for $30 and replace it your self in under 10 minutes.
    Tacomaholic has a video on YouTube that shows step by step.
    I replaced mine yesterday, it is simple.

    Is this the stock wiper stalk that came with your truck? The Int setting on base model Tacomas it wipe / about 2 second delay / wipe ...
    If you want truly adjustable intermittent wiper control you will have to swap out the stalk. Mine is from a 2011 Tundra.

    Yeah that's more or less what my old one looked like. Didn't like how few settings there were on it. I replaced it with one that looks more like this

    That is the one I have. I watched Tacahomaholic's video. Doesn't look too bad. Need to check price on one next. Thanks to everyone.
