I agree with Snoopy clean all electrical connections. Failing that it probably wants pulling apart and cleaning and regreasing. Particularly the cable and mechanism that operates the blades.

Agree with all the comments. It is quite likely the grease has completely hardened so needs to be removed and repacked. Disconnect the drive from the motor to ensure the wiper gearboxes /cable haven't seized David I agree with Snoopy clean all electrical connections.
