Adding Intermittant wipers

My '91 F150 Custom does not have intermittant wipers. Is there a relativly inexpensive, easy way to add them? I'm hoping that the solution involves nothing more than changing out the switch, though I know better than to expect that.

That's all. You just unplug & remove the standard switch & install the wiper governor with an interval switch. You can see them in this album.

Sounds good to me. Is there anything else I need? Found this pic in your album:



which suggests that there's more to it?

Steve83 is right. It really is a simple plug and play governor. Should be a relatively cheap part out of a junkyard.

As you just learned, that site doesn't allow remote linking - that's why my posts aren't CHOCK FULL of pictures. That pic of the switches just looks cluttered because I have several complete setups. The 2 at the top are what you need, but they're composed of the parts on the L side. The 2 at the bottom are what you have now. The bottom R part is for newer trucks.
