Removed the hood release handle, cut back some of the hood release cable sheath to expose cable...bingo! Got my hood open.

All I did after that was just top off some of the fluids (coolant, brake, clutch, power steering) and also cleaned out the interior. Also hung up a new pine tree on the rearview.

Finally figured out why my delay wipers weren't working. The wipers also did not park correctly. Turns out on the back of the Wiper module there is a solder that breaks. Just resoldered it and it's working great. Nice little 5 min fix that saved me $35 over a new module.

Was this causing you to only have 1 speed (hi) and could turn them off and they just stopped anywhere?

Thats what mines doing and its getting really old only having the fastest speed for my wipers.
