EASY FIX: How to get your Interm. Wiper Switch to Work AGAIN!!!
So I found out why mine stopped working!
If you pop the hood off that surrounds your wiper switch (Between gauge hood and steering wheel...DUH!)
now look on the back right side by wiper switch you'll see a green wire w/ a white plug at the end of it dangling there.. now plug it back in just an inch away! Back up and working...! The mazda people decided to make it an unsecured harness when it will be wiggled by the wiper switch arm every month or so.
My contribution for the day!

Wow, I feel dumb now. I switched out my gauge cluster about a week ago and then when it rained I realized my inter. wiper wasn't working right but I didn't connect the two things. I just went out to my car and looked and that thing was unplugged. Plugged it back in and everything worked. Thanks.
^I didn't think about it at all after it stopped raining and I wasn't in my car again.

Thanks! I will check mine. My intermittent wipers work intermittently and I assumed corrosion. When they don't work I can tap the column and they work again 
It's probably what you describe!
