Delay Wiper Switch Wires

Ok the truck is a 1977 F250 2WD. I am changing the wiper switch because it doesn't work (just spins). The switch has a wire coming off of it but on the one I took out it wasn't connected and the wiring diagram and replacement procedures in the book don't really address that wire specifically. Where does that wire connect?

What color is the mystery wire? What are the colors of all the wires going to the switch? Are they:

white
darkblue/orange
black/pink
red
black/white
black/lightgreen

6 wires all together, or 7?

There is a plug on the bottom of the switch which all the wires go into, then near the top is another wire that on the new on has a ring terminal on it, the old one was just a bare wire, that is the wire I have no idea where it connects.

Well, the diagram I have is not of your year, but if all the colors match, then I can tell you whats what. On my diagram, the seventh wire I did not list is a black wire, that goes to ground.

Ok... Thanks. I ordered the FSM and I am just waiting for it to come arrive. It has something to do with the delay because the Chiltons I have now shows two switches one without the wire and one with, and it identifies the one with the wire as a delay wiper switch.
