Wiper Delay Problem

I installed a delayed wiper switch and black box into my 86 F-350, both parts are used, but supposedly they work. My high and low setting work as normal. The delay setting will operate only like a low setting and will not change speed as I turn the **** further. Is there a way to test the switch or box? Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated.

I checked it in the evening and now the black box makes a buzzing noise in the interval position. The wipers do not move in any position. I am wondering if the drop in temperature made the difference.

Thread moved to " Electrical Systems/Wiring" forum. Should find more resources here for your question.

did you ground the delay box?? if you did, than it sounds like the delay is bad.

I did ground the switch, which is sufficient enough to turn on a test light. I will probably resoder the connections in the black box to see if that does anything.

there should also be a ground wire coming out of the delay box. if this wire is not grounded, it will not work properly.
