Hi gang!
The windshield wiper wand broke, and I found a very affordable replacement on eBay. Surprise, the wiring is different, despite wand being identical. Diagram attached. It's from a 1984 Thunderbird. I'd like to try to use it, but wondering if that's just stupid.
Are any of you out there familiar enough with the wiper switch to know if the wires can be transposed? There are a few overlaps. And I'm assuming I need to add a ground wire, where the previous wand was likely ground through the steering column.
Lemme know if you have any wisdom on the matter!
