S14 problems with windshield wipers

[encasemyheart]

My 1996 S14 seems to be having windshield wiper troubles and has had them since I got the car. Basically, it seems like the wipers will do nothing unless on the highest setting, in which case they will move very, very fast. If I turn it off of the highest setting then they stop in mid-stroke. I have to let them go and turn them off at the exact right time so they stop at their normal stopping position. Occasionally they will work like normal on all settings and return to their specified rest point, but this is rare and usually just for a few minutes before they start acting up again.

I thought it could be friction between the blades and the glass, but this is not the case. It doesn't seem to be the motors looking at the symptoms, seems like loose connections or something. Where do I start looking for this? Has anyone else has this problem?

Nope, never had that problem.
But, sounds like a bad switch. Or maybe you'll get lucky and the plg attached to the switch is loose.
Its been a while since I took one off, but I think if you take off the trim around the steering wheel column(4 screws from below I think) you should be able to access the plug.
