On my '84 this exact same problem was caused by a bad ground under the cover of the gearbox on the wiper motor. Carefuly remove the cover, clean the copper tab you see there which is supposed to make contact with the cover, clean the cover where it makes contact, put it back together. If this doesn't help you may need a new relay. The relay is found under a black sheet metal guard down where the drivers left foot rests, you will have to pull back the carpet and pull on a bundle of wires that go down behind the cover.
Good luck.
