Read about every windshield wiper problem on the forums and got to work and figured out that my dash panel with the windshield wiper knob on it is not properly grounded, so my wipers won't park, and my 3 speed motor only goes one speed (fast).
That is, until I push the panel in and up. Then it grounds and everything works properly. Until I let go and the panel drops and comes out 1/32nd of an inch.
So my question is, how is that panel grounded specifically? I'd like to correct it both so I can fix the immediate problem and so I have a bigger margin of error when removing/reinstalling it in the future.
I'm also kinda pissed because discovering this problem also ended my streak--I've owned the car since Nov 2010 and I finally got caught in some rain. The high and dry clock starts over...best time to beat 17 months.
