Bad wiper switch?

Bad wiper switch, how to wire to on/off switch?
Hey guys, I got a bit of a problem here. My wipers just stopped working and I'm thinking it's the switch because sometimes I can get them to move slightly. The first snow of the year came today and I was wondering if there was anyway I could wire them up to an On/Off switch for the time being. Does anyone know what wires would need to be spliced?
All help is greatly appreciated!

The switch, connectors, and wiring colors depend heavily on year and model. But if you have a '93 http://personal.utulsa.edu/~nathan-b.../5wiperand.pdf connecting blue-white to blue-orange (A4 and A9 at the connector) will give you high-speed wipers. Remember that disables return-to-home, so you may have to play with the switch to get the wipers to settle down.
Since there is so much variability (at least in wire colors) among the various schematics I have, I would verify all the connections with a multimeter. And in the process I would probably be able to at least diagnose the problem with the switch (if it is the switch). But if your entire truck is worth less than a single switch, you might not want to take such care.
Good luck!
