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

All the way down is intermittent wipers. Next click up is off. 3rd click up is low speed. Last click is high speed. Let us know what year the car is. 72-74 HAS to have a tight ground spring (z shaped copper strap) in the right hand corner, of the steering column.
