Intermittent Wipers

You can find these intermittent wiper switches in mid to late 60's and 70's ford trucks.
The black wire on the switch NEEDS to be Grounded..

The Studebaker 62 and later wiper motors had 4 wires. Here is the correlation of the wires to the back of the switch..
NOTE: The Purple/Yellow wire I added to a fuse block..
The unused pin on the back of the switch connector, left of the purple wire, is for a push button Washer Pump!

If you go to a recycle center, make sure you get the connector end from the wiper motor so it can plug into the switch..

Correlation between the Wiper Connector (NOT The switch connector) and the Stude wiper harness.

You will need to cut and "D" shape the shaft, and cut a slot for the Knob to stay on.

Instead of pulling the wiper switch, turn Clockwise to go Low-High. Turn Counter Clockwise for intermittent operation.
