This morning I started my truck, 2020 Chevy Colorado LT, and the wipers turned on when the engine started. The wipers cycled a few times and stopped in the middle of the windshield. I thought I had accidently turned them on but this is happening everytime I start the engine. The wipers won't go down to the normal stopping point either.
I checked the fuse and it's good. I changed it just in case but that didn't help.
I appreciate any help with this issue.

Could be the Switch itself is acting up

My 05 had a like issue. It ended up being a burn mark on the rotating contact in the motor itself. I took it apart and cleaned the brass rotating contact and all was well for many years. I have no idea if you can get the second gens apart or not. There is a write up on 355nation for the first gen.
Luck

Thank you everyone. I've been reading up on this and tried a few things. First I checked if the wiper operated on the slow and fast speeds, which both work. Only the intermittent serting doesn't work. When I use the washer fluid the wipers don't work either.
One suggestion I found was to disconnect the battery until the system drains itself completely and plug the battery in again. The idea is to reset the ecm. This didn't help at all. I checked the relays and fuses, all are good.
Next step is to check the motor. I will let you all know what happens.

I thought the BCM controlled the wipers.

Hello everyone,

I have an update on this issue. I replaced the motor and the issue did not go away. I've checked all the relays and fuses for the wipers and all are good, unplugged the battery to let the system drain and reset itself, and replaced the wiper motor. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Switch would be something that is making Contact and sending a signal
Yes, the BCM controls... But if the BCM was the issue... Only thing the BCM is having an issue with is the Wipers ... Very Unlikely that it is not creating issues with other items
