'86 STX intermittent wiper not working

[pacnwranger]

Hi Everyone,

My wipers on my '86 2.9 automatic STX work on slow and fast but not on intermittent. I have searched threads for a similar problem but so far have come up blank. The truck sat for a long time (as in years!). I suspect the governor switch, which, I think is above left knee under the dash. It's a little hard to get to but does it sound like I'm on to the culprit?

Thanks so much for any help on this!

Dave

Thats what it was on my 83 but good luck finding one they seem to be almost year specific

Thanks for the word. The Chilton and Haynes books I've got don't even mention the part. Trying to remember where I read about it...

some years it is in the harness I think my 88 is like that

FWIW: I was looking for that module and the parts so I could add delay to my 1985, I gave up. I ended up ordering a delay board from E-Bay, I am going to see how that works and fits behind the dash.

The truck is totally screwed up electrically. You should just give it to me.

Although the little control box was in different locations under the dash I put an '86 box & wiring in my '88 & it works fine. Not fun. Pretty sure I've read on here where a member repaired the circuit board itself. No idea how complicated that might be.
