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?
