Windshield Wiper Problem

I'm heading to Seattle this evening and I just noticed that my windshield
wipers don't work on fast speed. They work perfectly on low speed and
intermittent but stop where they are when switched to high speed.
I just checked the weather forcast and it says that it's raining in
Seattle so I've got to do something about this problem.
Any ideas where to start? The motor seems to be working correctly since
the wipers work at low speed. Does this sound like a switch problem?
What kinda job am I looking at to repair/replace the switch?
Any suggestions will be appreciated. Any ideas about the cost of a new
switch?
TIA
Jerry

The most expedient and immediate fix is an application of RainX ... at
speeds over 40 mph, the windshield will be virtually self-clearing without
the use of wipers.

Just tried putting Rain-X on all three of my cars. It is working great but
it creates a haze layer looks not so clean to me especially at sunny day...
Any solution?

Once the RainX application has had a chance to dry, you need to make a
second pass with some paper towel and windex (or equivalent) to get the haze
off. The water repellency will still be there even though the haze is gone.
Sometimes, newsprint is better than paper towel ...

I have no haze and each application is good for a couple of months.

Good technique to ya,

When I wax my truck, I wax the windows too, Have been doing so since the
80's when I had a show car, Alot of them did so I followed suit, It works
great better then RainX (I think) and when its dry and sunny out a
California Duster cleans up the whole car easily.

Read the instructions about the haze layer.
