The wipers work but not when you pull the stalk back to activate the wash wipe  only when you move it up to spedd 1 and speed 2

Got the same problem.

Not tested with the multimeter yet but I hope its not a stalk issue!

And on that note, hows the back of your fusebox looking? After all the above I would check there too.
