Need help with intermident wipers

Replaced the wiper switch in my 78 f100 with an intermident setup out of an 88 f150. Now my washer pump dosen't work. My old switch has one more terminal in the back of it compared to my new one. What extra wire do I need to run to make my washer pump work? Does it need a ground or what?

Thaks,
Jeff

no extra wires, the 2 plugs on the truck that plug into the wiper switch are all you need. the small plug with 2 wires is where the problem is, just swap the position of the 2 wires and the washers will work!

Like what 77f2504x4 said. No need to pull out the wires just turn it around = pulg it in backwards. You did hook up the ground wire in the swith right?
