Default Strange wiper problem, please help!

Hey guys. I just picked up a 2jz swapped 97 sc300, and on the way home from buying it, my wipers and washer squirters stopped working. About an hour later, both work, 20 min later they don't, back and forth. Not sure what the problem is, but any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Jack it up and take the drivers side wheel off and look around (UP), you might have rubbed through the fender lining and wiring harness in there and it causes all kinds of wacky things, search around on here and youll see plenty of people have had this problem and some pics of the damage........

That may make sense cuz I noticed when I hit a bump, about 7 times outta 10 it will cause them to either start or stop working. I will check that out when I install my arp wheel studs. Thanks.
