DX model. front wipers only, wipers seem to work fine when blades are off the glass, when blades are on the glass, low speed will not work, high works and intermittent works sometimes. took switch apart and cleaned the contacts, reapplied dielectric grease to contacts, washer spray works, mist works, but lever does not return (bad spring probably). could this be a combination of a bad switch and a weak wiper motor?

Sounds like just a weak motor.
