The switch on the dashboard is that one that goes 99.9%



Mine would not work when it was raining.





If you want to double check, disconnected the plug at the motor and apply 12v to it to see if the motor is good.



New switch cost alot, used is like gambling but can last you a few more year. You can rebuild it to but i heard that works well sometimes, other not.

So does mine, I even replaced the relay. Just drive faster! Above 50mph, no rain stays on the window because it's so severely slanted
