Intermitent wiper switch.
My 1978 f150 doesn't have the intermitent wiper switch either. Can someone explain why the wipers don't return to the bottom of the windsheld when I turn them off? Have changed the switch but it didn't fix the problem.

Wipers not parking could be a bad ground at the wiper motor. Try using a jumper wire from the wiper motor to a good ground. If they park ok, then a bad ground is the problem.

No the governor doesn't come with it.
That's just for the switch.
The last Ford price for the governor I have, was $185.00.

Intermitent wiper switch.
the intermittent wipers are a truck only item. the cars and vans use a similar but different set up. the truck unit is neat because it evolved from a mustang/torino unit (early ones have torino switches still, lots of money to the torino guys!) but have a much better govenor. the car and van units mostly use a slide switch rather than a rotary switch and fords with slide switches have different plug assemblies and won't interchange. the rotary style can be retrofitted to any ford with a rotary switch like old mustangs and i even put one in my 65 ford econoline pick up! (to put it in the econoline you have to use a 66 or 67 wiper motor though). the truck unit is pretty much the same all the way up to the late 80's but i am told there is one less connector for the washers (have not checked yet) but it works fine by moving one wire. hawkrod
