Default Windshield wipers acting up?

I just purchased a 2005 and noticed that the windshield wipers don't operate the same way as my 97 did and i assume that there's a problem with them.
when i push the wiper stick down for a second on my old vette they used to run through one cycle and return to the off position. on the 05, they only run for however long you hold the stick down and then stop wherever they may be at. when i actually turn them on, lower speeds get stuck in the middle and higher speeds seem to work but then they land wherever they are when you turn them off, not in the off position. and possible remedies for this? thanks!
