Adding wiper delay

I'd like to upgrade my 2 speed wipers to a delay. That's a feature very much appreciated here in Central Florida where we get lots of thunderboomers, some across the street and you get only mist lol!

To the point, is this all that's needed, or more?

John Boos 24-Inch Square Maple Chopping Block | eBay

I have no idea why this link comes up as a maple chopping block; just using it as an example.

I haven't looked aftermarket yet, or if there are any floating around NOS. Right now just trying to figure out exactly what I need.

Thanks for the good word in advance!

My truck info and build:

Yes, that is what you need. It is plug & play.

If it works I don't think that is a bad price either.
I want to add them to mine also but I have other thing I HAVE TO GET before wiper delay!

I hear ya. I was browsing Fee-bay and saw some of these and it got me wondering. I did make a lower offer on this one, so we'll see.

Now I know what to look for. It's a small & easy add-on and something I really need down here.

Don't forget, it won't work unless you attach the "extra" ground.
I have 2 of the interval wiper modules, 1 works, the other one did not.
I found one of the pins, (only one of them) in the connectors were in different positions

Yes, we took a bit of time doing a lower offer from me, and counter offer from them a couple of times. Looking forward to having this feature on the old truck -
