Sorry, I'm not too good with this stuff, hopefully by learning little
by little I'll save myself a few dollars here and there.
Can you please tell me what it is that you think is wrong with the
ignition switch, and what you might suggest I can do about it?
Thanks.

Re: Wipers/Radio Problem
Usually when the ignition switch finds a position that's half on
and half off, it worn out. Fairly easy to replace just under the plastic
column cover: http://www.----------.com/TJingitionSwitch.pdf or just
under dash height on the end of a push rod:

Re: Wipers/Radio Problem
I would first be cleaning the ground strap that runs from the rear of
the engine head to the firewall. A bad one will cause your symptoms and
the alternator/battery issue depending on where the body steals it's
ground from. (the battery only gets half charged which can kill it)
