ID wiper switch?


Greetings from the 48-52 forum…

I picked up this wiper switch from a junkyard a while back — if memory serves it was mid 70s F100 maybe? Does that look right? More importantly I need a wiring diagram so I can hobble together a 12v solution for my ‘52.

Any help appreciated. Thx.

Bezel marked: WIPER WASHER = 1970/72 F100/350 & Econoline.

Assuming this switch came from one of these trucks.

C8UZ-17A553-A .. Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch (Motorcraft SW-869) / Obsolete

1968/72 F100/350; 1969 Econoline before serial number E10,001.

thank you to you both... very helpful.


quick followup question: how does 'park' work for wiper motors?

i'll be using this switch to control a wiper motor out of jeep cherokee (in order to fit/work with the old 6v linkage in the '52).

there is a cam inside the wiper motor that provides power after the switch is turned off until it rotates around to the Park postion...then the cam opens the internal switch in the wiper motor.
