you might try researching a change to an sr5 switch, it might work. But then again, you might need to replace the motor and the relay.

Yeah I was wondering if there was another years you could swap out. It rains 70 inches a year here so its nice to have some options.

I was surprised to find my truck (91) has the wiring harness in place for the intermitant wipers.
I was told that most regular (Non SR5 Package) trucks have this.

Find out if your truck has this plug already on the wiring harness and I'll make you a deal on the controls that I have.

Im not going to use them.
