Windshield Wipers / Cruise control???

[Gary Kanter]

Driving in our wonderful new England rain.

 

I turn on cruise control. nothing happens.  Now this might not be related.
but

 

I turn off the windshield wipers when I stop a couple of minutes later, and
they are stuck in the middle, instead of going all the way down.  They still
work fine, go back and forth, intermittent etc, they are now just shifted a
good 50 degrees..

 

Any ideas?
