I've recently experienced a similar problem on my '76 280z, but not always. Lately, only the high speed wiper function is constantly reliable, while the low and intermittent functions sometimes work, sometimes not. I saw the old "repairing the 240z combo switch" pdf, and was wondering if anyone had done the same operation successfully to the wiper contact points. It seems like it would be plausable, but I wonder if should look elsewhere for a cure before tearing the switch apart and forcing myself to part with the ungodly amount of money they want for a replacement. Thanks, you guys have been a great help over the years. This is actually the first time I didn't find my question answered before I even had to ask.
