Wipers only operate on high or low, inter. quit functioning, plus, when wiper switch is turned off, blades stop operating immediately--do not return to lower position on windshield. Also, if windshield washer is activated, blades operate, but will not stop unless the engine is turned off. Hate to change the motor in case this is some type of electrical related problem. How to diagnose?
