Hi John,

When it rains, it pours huh?  There is a pretty good chance that your wiper
woes are directly related to the ignition switch, hence the recommendation
to have a spare on hand.  It could also be the wiper switch itself or a
wiring / ground connection issue, but my money is on the ignition switch.
Is the defroster fan still working okay?  That is the other most common
electrical failure point related to the ignition switch.

Ben's website has a good writeup on replacing the ignition switch.  You can
find it here:  http://www.benplace.com/dash.htm

Good luck,
Jay Brown
