Ooo Err, can you change the speed ? My guess is a stalk fault.

hi, before doing major work,
in the fuse box, front o/s engine comp is relay box for wipers, give it a tap or swap for good one

Remove the relay and use Electrical Contact Cleaner spray on the terminals and replace. Do no harm to do the others and fuses also. A can of this stuff is essential in your MB toolbox!
