Front Wipers Not Working Except When Washing Button Pushed
 
I need some advice for my 2012 LS. The windshield wipers aren't working when turning the switch through the intermittent settings and also the low/hi positions. They do work if I push the wash button on the end of the switch. The fluid pump does work. I checked the fuses and moved a few around to be sure that wasn't the problem. Is a switch replacement the next step? It doesn't look hard to do nor is it expensive. Is there something else to check? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks for the help! I ordered a replacement switch from Amazon for $28. That fixed it. The removal and replacing was really easy - pull the steering wheel all the way out and down, remove 4 screws on the bottom plastic, remove the top plastic, unplug the connections, remove the old switch, put the new one in and then put it all back together. I didn't need to remove the bottom plastic. There was enough wiggle room to get at what I needed to.
