    Thanks guys.

    Since it's a 92, from what I understand I don't even have a "sword" right? I'll have to check it out to be sure though. But at the very least, you're say it's unlikely that the in dash dial is the culprit, right?

    As for the wipers, they ALWAYS work in ultra-high speed... it was only recently that I suddenly lost the lower speeds and the washerfluid function. It wasn't that they were working during a drive and then quit either, I just started the car and wanted to clear dew from the windscreen and got nothing but superspeed. Since I lost the fluid function too, I have a hard time imagining that it's the wiper motor... hmmm

    re: wipers....i'd try this

    open the underseat back seat electrical modules up (unscrew and remove the cover)
    hit each part of it with light force with the palm of your hand
    wait 10 minutes

    try it out.....

    my wipers on occasion will die or stick in superfast, and this is what usually clears it up. i'm thinking there's a wiper speed control relay back there that is getting intermittent that the palm strike is "helping" along.
