Stag wiper problems...brand new switch wired incorrectly?

[varsas]

Hi.

My wipers have never worked 100% on my Stag in that the intermittent settings was very...umm, intermittent. Sometimes it would work, other times not. In taking it off the car and trying to fix it I broke it (very silly of me) so have got a brand new replacement. The situation now is that:

Off is off.
Position 1 (speed 1) is slow speed
Position 2 is off
Intermittent (pull back on lever) is slow speed

And the wipers do not 'park'. Are all the new ones like this? Have I bought the wrong part? My car is a RHD Mk2, and that's what I ordered. An indicator stalk I bought at the same time works fine.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Mine is exactly the same, and has been for the last 16 years.

I'm pretty sure this is caused by the commutator inside the wiper motor, not the switch.
