Front windscreen wipers .started to move in steps across screen, they stop, after a few seconds, will move again and stop.
this will continue in all positions of the control lever. eventually I will switch off, & the blades will gradually reset in stages

Maybe a faulty wiper motor. You could try cleaning the contacts on the motor!!!.
