Headlights and Wiper Switch???

Ok, two questions

My high beam do not come on at all, and the bulbs are definitely good (new). So why wont they "flash to pass" or turn on? I have tried a new switch and new relay, no help. When i pull the switch i can hear the relay clicking on and off, but no light! Low beams work great, just no brights. This is really frustating on back roads with high beams.

My windshield wiper switches are both bad. The rear wiper doesn't work at all, and the regular front wiper switch only works on "on", but no intermittent works. Can i fix these or do i have to buy new ones???

Thanks for any help

Click the search button on the upper right corner for more info on the wipers. Search Wiper Fix or something similar, Im sure anything you type will pop something up about it. Rx7s are known for this. You shouldn't need new ones just need to resolder stuff. I have the same problem but my rear wiper is the only has the problem, and works when it wants to so it really doesnt bother me since this is the first car I have had with a rear wiper.

The headlights are probably the result of a bad connection from the Relay to the unit. That is what happened to my friends car.

As far as the wipers....those are a common problem on FC's and I don't know if there is a recall to fix them.
