Same here.
I pulled it apart and cleaned it.
Works fine.
See no need to change.

Then you can move it all the way through the operating range with the lever on the motor without fighting the dash switch. And you won't need to drag your wife out there. If you can bottom the arm on the motor and they still run I would suspect debris in the valve. With the engine running throw the lever on the wiper pump around through the range of movement and maybe it will kick loose. If you get them working you might obtain a new filter from Kanomata. When i pulled mine it looked more like a piece of tubing than a filter but a bit of work with a wire bottle brush and contact cleaner got it clean. Ive seen some posted opinions favoring removal but im leaving mine. Easier to clean than the wiper pump internals. One of the Kens or Jim's might chime in soon.........
