WIPER SWITCHES

I have an 88 f250 with a factory high and low wiper switch that has kicked the bucket. I would like to replace it with a high/low and delay switch. So first can i just change the switch and second anyone know the years that would work.

I don't know the years that would work- I would think the earliest year you can find that came with delay is your best bet. But you can't just swap the switch- the wipers are able to delay because of a governor in the circuit. On trucks with delay the governor is typically in-line close to the switch. I believe you'll also need to put a new plug on the wire harness leading to the switch.
