Default wipers only working on "high", and, Hello!

Guess I should start out with an intro first since I'm pretty new here. Used to have a 2000 Formula WS6, traded it to a guy for the 98 Coupe I've got now since he needed a back seat (kid on the way!). Anyway, his loss was my gain, and I've never looked back. Absolutely love this Vette!

Anyway, my wipers only work on high. I did a search on here, made sure my wiper controller wasn't sitting under water or anything like that. Fuses all look good. Anyone know for sure what needs to be fixed / replaced? It's kinda embarrassing having to manually work my wipers!

Thanks
Drew

Welcome to the Forum. You'll never escape

Try this. It'll at least tell you where you need to look and the dealer can take it from there

welcome aboard....When i had that problem the wiper motor went bad....it's an integrated circuit board/motor, which is what happens to sit in the water then the drains get cloged. I just replaced my motor this christmas and my car is a 99, pull the motor and go exchange it at a local partstore for a rebuilt one, cost me a good bit under 100 bux. Good luck!
