my 2 gen have another wiper problem. It can not completely go back to orginal unless I have luck. So, I replace a wiper switch and it works normal again.
You may try a used wiper switch on the FS section.

Not turning of is generally a bad internal joint or shorted resistor in the switch. Occasionally you will also see that problem with a bad wiper motor, but it is pretty rare.

Only working on one speed is a bad internal wiper switch relay.
