Angry Windshield Wipers stopped working

The other day, the wipers suddenly slowed to a crawl, would not auto-park, and would not run at all in low speed position.
Yesterday they ran slowly for about 5 minutes, now they are completely dead.
It is not tight in the linkage, near as I can tell.
Have just over 61000 miles on an '06 quad cab long box diesel.
I don't have a place indoors to work on it so would like to save a little time by asking if anybody has experienced these symptoms before.
Also, in order to remove the fuse/power center cover, it looks like it is necessary to remove the (ground?) wire nut since part of the cover a strap that goes under that, correct?
Never saw less detail about the fuse center in any operator's manual......

My wipers began acting up as they wouild not work on high. Took it in and naturally they could not duplicate the problem. Now they are doing it again so i have to get it back to them.

I had a similar, if not the same problem the both y'all are having. My '06 Mega cab was doing the same thing. Took it to the dealer, they could not reproduce the problem. I finally was close to the dealer when they were acting up, and they replaced the wiring relay that located in the arm of the wiper controls. Took them 20 minutes and thankfully cost my ZERO...warranty.

Just might be the multi-function switch that is in the column. Have you guys had any problems with turn signals or switching from bright to dim?
