Wiper switch pin out

So I've been searching for a while and can't find a pin out on a 2 speed wiper switch. The motor has three wires (I'm assuming grnd. and two positives) but I cant figure out how to wire the switch accordingly. I am using an American auto wire kit, and would like to wire direct to the back of the switch, but with the factory connection I cant figure out the pin out. Any help would be appreciated. btw I did try to ohm out the switch and that only led to more confusion on my part.
Thanks

What year is your truck? 1961/66: There are THREE different 2 speed wiper switches.

1961/62 has 4 terminals and is marked: C1TF-17A553-C

1963/65 and some 1966's have 4 terminals and are marked either: C3TB-17A553-A or C3TB-17A553-E

Some 1966's have 7 terminals and is marked: C6TB-17A553-B

Have a 65 with 4 pin single speed switch and the other a 4 pin 2 speed switch, appears wiring different primarily from switch to motor.

I wired it using the original connector. I've given into the fact that I'll have to reuse some factory connections in this. The truck's been sitting up for almost a year when I decided to start the rewiring process. It's time to get this puppy back on the road. I'll post some pics when done.
