To add my .02 ... this is about a medium difficulty fix if you have any sort of soldering skills. The hardest part is desoldering the old relay without burning anything (I tried both solder wick and two solder suckers and found the wick MUCH easier). It's very likely that both switches you tested are bad as this is a very common issue.

Wiper Switch Problems

I have a similar problem. My original switch on my '91 only works on low and I just replaced my switch with a working switch I bought on ebay. Now the wipers run all the time no matter what position the switch is in. Any ideas?

Probably the wrong series switch in the wrong harness. IE: S4 in an S5, or S5 in an S4.

Well that sucks but makes sense. My car is an S5. Time to take the dash apart again

Thanks

I've never had this problem... I've tested several S4 and S5 switches in my S4 GXL... Both Vert and Coupe models too.
