Answer
Most common failure for this is the multi-function switch that operates the turn signals, wipers, and also the high beam headlamps. If you try the wipers you will probably find something that doesn't work, usually the intermittent part. The contacts in the switch corrode or wear out. This switch is just below the steering wheel, have to remove the trim at the top of the steering column. The turn signal/wiper switch handle is part of this switch.
