GURUS needed. . Do I have a switch problem?

Copy and pasted from my WTB thread: "I attempted to repair my switch but was left with less than desirable results, even after replacing both relays I still had the same issue. I tried another switch a friend had but it didn't function properly either and it was broke anyway so that was a no-go. Would be great if it's a known good switch since I'm not entirely sure if the switch was the root cause. Lastly, if I have a choice I would like a non rear wiper switch but let me know what you have regardless please."

The issue I'm having is the momentary and first or second speed (I think, can't remember for sure) function stopped working. To make the issue even worse is the wipers wont return to their home position, I would have to toggle the mist function of the switch till I got them close to home or else they'd more than likely stop in the middle of the windshield.

My question is, am I targeting the wrong part? Is there anything else that could cause the problems above, like the motor assembly for example? I ask this because I find it odd that two different switches gave me the same results even after my original was rebuilt with two new relays (by me) and the other switch that I borrowed from my friend was obviously repaired with a new relay (switch housing was cut to gain access to relay rather than desoldering the board).

Thanks in advance!
