High beam/ wiper troubles

I'm new here so I hope this is in the right category. I have a 1996 f150 xl. I'm having a problem with highbeams and windshield wipers. I'm guessing it's probably the steering column switch but not positive. My headlights work on low beams but when I switch to high they come on but turn off after about a second. Pulling the switch back to flash used to work but now it doesn't. Also my windshield wipers I have to turn the **** to the highest 2 settings to keep them moving because otherwise they cycle once and not again. Any help is appreciated.
