So I've been getting this thing in shape and up to par to get inspected to be street legal. Having an issue with my windshield wipers though. It will only go one speed. No high, low, or intermittent. I turn it all the way to low or high, but still only goes low. Any idea what might be the issue?

they just won't turn on till i hit the low constant, then it is the same on high. will stop where its at as soon as i get it back to intermittent settings. then of course goes back back to the base when i turn off.

Test plug at motor to see if you getting current at it when wipers are on high. If yes replace motor if not check switch plug under dash. Ill bet its motor dont really hear renix wiper switch in coloumn going out.
