No wiper delay

Just took a 300 mile trip with my 99 psd and a little after halfway through the trip my wiper delay quit. The wipers still have high and low and work fine but when they are on the delay the wipers go up and stop. I feel like the motor is fine because they still work fine with high and low so I believe it would be the switch on the left side of the colum. Any suggestions?

I've heard that you can pop off the end cap of the multi function switch and clean the contacts for the wipers. I've never tried it before though. Hope it helps.
