Most likely your speed controlling resistors are gone, or there might be a thermal fuse right next to them to make sure it blows when the resistors get too hot. This is usually caused by too much load on the resistors, ie. wiper motor going bad, wiper arm bushings rusted (been there), etc.
Yeah, but the key is in what he's saying ... "now it's hard to turn the wipers from high to off"... bet the control switch has broken down inside ...
