Intermittent wipers question
My intermittent wipers are suddenly no longer intermittent wipers. When the wiper switch is turned to the left, the wipers are on steady low speed. Is the switch bad?

Also, another thing to check is the ground between the switch and the dash. The switch must be grounded or the delay function won't work. The original switch grounds through it's connection at the metal dash.
The replacement switch will have a separate wire for the ground (Later models had plastic dashes).

If the switch or governor needs replaced, the 80+ units can also be used. The separate 2 wire plug (washer) on the truck's wiring may have to be reversed or swap the wires in the plug. Otherwise, it's fully plug and play.
