Default Wiper Problem - Motor/Switch/Relay ???

Here is the problem:
When I bought my vette (1988) a couple of weeks ago, the wiper switch had to be played with to get the wipers to come on, but they would come on and work. I thougt then that is was probably a switch, but now now I am not so sure.

Now I have to push the switch all the way to "hi" and then push it down to "wash" at the same time in order to get the wipers to do a complete wipe, but they will only wipe across the window once and then stop. If I let off the switch while they are going, then they stop where they are on the window. And if I don't push down on the switch (wash), the wipers turn on but only come up about 4 inches and then back down (continuously). :confused:

The wiper motor "sounds" healthy, and so does the washer motor. Could somebody please tell me what the problem is?

I AM SORRY, THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE C4 SECTION, BUT I AM SURE SOME C5 OWNERS MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP ALSO.
