Q: No windshield wipers
First my cruise control didn't work, a little while later my 4 ways wouldn't work soon after that the brights wouldn't work, at that point if I tilt the steering wheel up they would work, lower the steering wheel they went off. Now my windshield wipers don't work just like the brights they work with the steering wheel up off when lowered, now not working at all. I'm thinking it's the multi combination switch.
