Window wipers

Is is possible to put intermittent wipers on an 83 ford f 150 even though the existing wipers are low and high? Would I need to change the on/off switch?

Yes; you will need the governor (small black box) under the dash as well as the switch; the factory harness attaches to the governor, the switch attaches to the governor and also has a separate ground wire that screws to the dash and you're done.

I think this is in the sticky at the top, with a title something like 'wiring factory options.'

Easiest way to find the intermittent in the JY:

If the wiper switch turns to the left, it has intermittent.
