- Is this the GM Blinker-Blinker-Blinker-Cruise-Cruise-Cruise-Cruise-Cruise-
- Wiper-Wiper-Wiper-Wiper-High Beam-Low Beam switch on the stalk with
- tilt wheel, and the 2 speed with delay wiper motor? This was common
- on the lux GMs of the time.

- If this is the unit, its probably the contacts in the wiper motor
- needing cleaning. This is difficult to do only because the lowermost
- 10mm bolt is VERY difficult to remove, especially if the car has ever
- been outside.
