Welcome to the world of 2nd gen RX-7 eletrical maladies. It's probably a bad wiper switch, check the fuses first as it's not fun to replace said switch.



My car has one wiper speed. It also has no heat due to a screwy logicon.



Ahhh the joys of a 2nd gen.

buy some Rain-X in the meantime, that way you can drive safely in the rain before you get this issue sorted out.

yes i have one-speed wipers as well. which is fine except timing the turn-off so they stay all the way down pisses me off, cuz everynow and then i go just past off and go to mist, and what happens, randomly mist works and puts the wipers in the middle of my windshield.



the bastid.

Maybe they got stuck on and someone disconnected them
