Default Wipers only work on high!!

A while back I had a clutch explosion that took out a few things. Post repairing the car my wipers only work when on high. I dont have intermittent anymore or low. Even the windshield wiper fluid sprayer does not work. I pulled the dash apart last year and could not find any broken wires, but I am a big guy and I could not get to over half of the wires. When I get home next month I want to try to fix it again b4 I take the car to the dealer. Can someone point me in the right direction?

I never thought of that. When I get home I will hit the dealers and purchase a new one and see how that works out.

Thanks..

I think it is the control board. I did not look in my manuals though. Call your local dealers parts guy and tell him what it is doing. I'll bet you a doughnut he will tell you it is the control board.

RoadRebel took a closer look and it appears the switch itself was damaged by shrap metal from the clutch. The Wipers are repaired now. It is good to have a tuner who repairs things that has nothing to do with why you brought the car to him. RoadRebel comes highly recommended!!!
