Wiper issue...

I have no 'high speed' on my Safari wipers (hasn't worked since i got it) and i replaced the motor but it didn't change so i guess the fault is in the stalk.
Anyone know how to fix, or what's likely to be the fault?

i had exactly the same issue, replace the stalk, mine is a 1988 and the switches just wear out, i replaced the motor first

then the switch.

Same issue so replaced stalk...no change so wasnt stalk on mine. Was $40 I think for the stalk and fan control.
I've applied a Nissan fix now though...I drive slow in heavy rain

While it is only a minor problem to me, it IS a wof issue, as the issuer pointed out to me last week, after he put the new wof on (there are a few good one's out there) and before anyone thinks he's just dodgy, he wasn't gonna pass it due to a blown brake light bulb till i found a spare in the back...
