| If is newer than 1990 may be a real problem as those do not use a Switch to control the motor speed, the Switch feeds a electronics box that changes the signals to the motor on a single wire system. Pre 90 the systems had multiple contacts in the switches to feed to different input terminals at the motor itself. What vehicle are you working on? |

| You could go to any parts store and ask for a windshield wiper switch for a 1984 F150 and it would do exactly what you are wanting. |

Around here they ask "what size engine and automatic or manual". Then after punching a few keys on the computer, The answer would be "we don't have a listing for something that old". ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. Real pullers don't have speed limits. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |
