The wipers are weird, fast speed works fine but on slow they stop and sometimes when I go to turn them off they keep going :s
Sounds like dodgy switch/connections....
Yep - i have the same with mine. A gentle touch will give you any combination of slow/ fast / delay depending on what mood it's in. It's a dodgy switch box. If you take it apart, it's a slide switch with multiple contacts that are flexible. If you imagine that all the contacts on the slider are the same as the contact plate underneath, it's just a gap separating them, the contact plate is able to make contact because at certain points the contact point is bent upwards. Hope that makes sense
The contacts on mine were pushed quite far in so the switch wasn't making contact, so thought it was a bad motor, which i then replaced, still didn't work. So i took the switch apart and rebent the contacts so they stuck out further. Now everything was working, all the time. I then took it apart again and debent them a bit and it's at a sort of happy medium now. Triggers way too easily but at least the operations are correct based on the markings on the switch.
