Default My windshiled wipers don't work.

When I turn it on the first click is does not work but the 2nd and 3rd click works. I have a 98 Civic. And usually when I clean my windows it automatically turns on the wipers.

I don't know about your local junkyards, but around here they charge $25 for the switch. If they charge the same you are better off going with a new one thru honda. That way you know it will work. I was charged $25 plus shipping for a new one. Just a thought though.

$25 for a switch? Before I knew people at my local yard, it was $15, and the other day I got an entire tilt column with wheel and switches for $10.
