seems like the knob isnt lined up properly, as it goes through the 3 speeds then when you go back down it doesnt want to turn off completely...i have unscrewed it a few times and tried to reset it, i get it off but seems like a hassle, why does the button press in, i see that the part that presses in has a long tip to it, should that be pushed in to turn it off or does it have any function?

pull the switch out of teh dash and test run it before screwing bqck in.

sounds like a problemo with your earth, and/or resistor, i had exactly the same problem, does the switch get hot at the rear, chech your earth/s, bit of a pain but gotta be done, i seemed a bit dumb when i was driving home after the rain with my wipers on, lol

the push in part is the washer pump, depends what vehicle its on..oh and the white block that looks like chalk is the resistor..
