Has anybody witnessed a similar situation:
Wipers turned on to maximum speed during heavy rain. After rain
becomes less heavy, switched to lower speed, which works. After
rain stops, tried to turn wipers off. Moved the lever to all five
positions (single pulse, off, intermittent, low speed, high speed)
but wipers keep going at the low speed setting. Get to destination
and turn engine off. Wipers, of course, do stop at this point. Two
hours later, start up car, wipers pulse once and then stop. Ever
since, the switch is working properly again, although only the
single pulse, off, intermittent, and low speed settings have been
used; haven't yet had occasion to try high speed.
What kind of a switch would behave this way?
