Trying to figure out a weird one.

1 _ wiper Switch in down position (should be off) Wipers operate in intermittent mode
2 - wiper switch up in any of the other positions (assume should be low and high) they do nothing

So the relay is engaging intermittent when they should be "Off" and when they should be going at speed in the upper positions i get nothing.

Could it be a bad switch on the steering column? Or could it potentially be an incorrect switch? I know the intermittent relay was an option at one point.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

I just bought the car a few months ago so it has been that way since i got it. The PO did some welding up front and removed all of the fresh air blower stuff so i dont know if the motor has been out. I did find a broken wire headed to the relay which i repaired - rest of the wires look good

I am just trying to fix it before i replace the fresh air box, etc...for obvious reasons regarding access...

I get voltage on the blue / black wire at the motor when the wipers fire on intermittent

what was odd was i didnt get any voltage when testing the red wire(s) on the motor...seems counterintuitive - i would think i wold see voltage there

I have the switch out of the car now so will look at it for what you mentioned
