I just bought my car and the cruise control/wiper lever does nothing. I don't know why but the wipers have been wired to a toggle switch located just below the steering wheel on the left. How do I figure out the reason for this and what can I do to get the cruise control working? Oh, and the toggle switch doesn't allow for wiper fluid disparagement either which is kind of an issue for me too.
