Wipers sometimes only work when pulled - Toyota Yaris Forums

Based on your description I suspect that your wiper linkage/transmission is the issue and needs to be adjusted or repaired/replaced. The wiper transmission or wiper linkage connects the wiper motor to the wiper arms and synchronizes their movement. It can jam up and sometimes just a adjustment is need, the bushings on the pivot points wearing out is the most common failure point. You'll need to take off the wiper arms, and the large plastic cowl piece under them to get a good look at the wiper linkage.
