My 1976 C3 windshield wiper only work on high speed and will not shut off. Does that mean my wiper motor is bad?

Thanks

I would suspect the wiper switch itself first.

Mine only worked on Hi, but it did shut off okay.  I found that someone had added about 8 inches to the three wires under the dash and crossed them in the process.  It took me quite a while to track that down.  Whoever had this car in the past had hacked most of the wires under the dash -- I can't imagine why. . .

Ok, I'll try swapping switch out first.

Thanks
