Windshield wiper switch-AARGH!

Hi Red. Yeah i took the switch apart,tried to make sure all of the contacts were tight and the springs were working correctly but to no avail. I'd be glad to send you this one to tinker on as soon as I have a suitable replacement. This one is still functioning as a junction for several other things and I don't want to jinx myself. I certainly appreciate the offer and will most likely take you up on it. Thanks.b.
"Junction for several other things" has me confused. What in the world did they do in there ? I'm aware of washer pump power through some switches. Let me ask this... exactly what are conditions ? What does the switch do or not do conserning the wipers ? And what other circuits open or fail when the wiper switch is unpluged ?
