Can't speak to your particular application, but I did exactly that with my 01 Tacoma.

You will need to consult a parts book for your vehicle. Should be two different wiper control modules. In my particular case, the module for the "tilt steering" was the one that gave intermittent wiper control.

Only took about 15 minutes to make the change. Three screws on the cover, two screws on the module itself. Unplug the 2 speed, plug in the intermittent, replace screws and you're done.

Talk to your parts guy... Most likely it can be done for you the same way.

Edited to add:

The wiper control module should run you just a little over $100.

I cut/pasted this from the 4x4wire board,

"I did this on my '89. On at least the '89 and later trucks, they are prewired for it. All you have to do is swap out wiper switches. Cheezie really, that Toyota wouldn't include this as a standard feature on all it's trucks since it's so simple. But anyway, the only difference between the non-intermittent '89 and later switch and the intermittent switch is that a special relay is included in the switch mechanism. The 4Runner switch is different, but it will fit in the trucks. You'll just have an extra switch position for the rear window that you don't need. The switch only comes with vehicles with tilt wheel, so when going to your local junk yard, ask for a wiper switch from a SR5 truck or 4Runner with tilt-wheel. Then just bolt it in. "
