Wipers only work on one speed and more

[Jtrussell1890]

96 XLT Supercab 2.3L 5sp, pleasantries aside, my wipers have only ever worked on one speed and if they are off and I use the washer the wipers don't shut off unless I turn the truck off. Also if I do turn them off, they always stop at what ever position they are in. They don't return to park at the bottom of the windshield. Is this in the multifunction switch on the column or is this probably on the wiper motor itself?

Im not the expert by any means. But I had a similar issue on my 95 way back. I ended up replacing the whole switch assembly that clamps around the steering column. My wipers would cut on and off fine but would only work 1 speed. I didn't even worry about it till my headlights got stuck on high beams. Hopefully one of more knowledgeable members can give you some better advice haha

I mean it's been manageable for the last 2 years I've had the truck, but I'm slowly getting it to where it's supposed to be and this is just one of those annoyances lol.

There are 2 wiper relays in the engine compartment, You could try to swap in 2 relays that you know are good to see if that is the problem. Also the GEM could be at fault as it is involved with the wipers.
