Any stored codes?

There have been a handful of reports where the wiper wiring under the windshield cowl gets crushed by the center strut brace bolt and caused similar issues.

If you remove the plastic cap on the center of your windshield cowl, you should see the bolt and wiring there just to ensure the bolt wasn't tightened on top of the wiring and crushed during a previous repair (valve cover replacement, strut replacement, etc). Sometimes the tape holding the wiring in place fails and it'll fall down under the bolt and then be crushed when the bolt is tightened.

Here's a picture from my car (with the entire cowl removed) showing the wiring and the center bolt.
