This is probably not the best place to ask, but its a place to start. I own a 1998 GTP and lately I have been plagued with windshield wiper issues. Initial problem is the wipers not returning to the resting bracket when turned off (this I know the cause and solution). Now I am stumped with an issue where the wipers will not work unless switched to the HIGH settings. Any settings other than OFF will result in power-loss-like behavior. ie: wipers stop moving on the spot. When switched to OFF, the problem above will occur. I did a little research and here are the potential problems that I think is present: 1) wiper circuit board malfunction, 2) wiper motor (unlikely), 3) assembly/transmission malfunction I am looking for the least expensive solution to the problem; replacing parts is acceptable, but must be low-cost and can be performed with manual labour (not relying on mechanics). Much help appreciated, thanks.
You can try disassembling the wiper arm selector switch (mounted inside the steering column) and cleaning up the contacts with contact cleaner and/or repositioning the contact tabs. If that doesn't work, then a new wiper multiswitch is what it needs.
