Windsheild Wiper question

[RentACop2]

I was just wondering. Can you unplug the intermitent wiper module and use a non-intermitent wiper switch?

I ask because my wiper switch is broke, but i dont have the $85 for a new switch and $30 is more in my price range for the time being.

I might be wrong but have you tried taking it out and skipping it? I think I read on here that you can plug the wires together and bypass the module.

I havent done anything yet. I wouldnt be able to tell if just skipping the module would work at this point becuase my switch is litteraly broke. Its been working off and on since I got the Wag. We thought it was the motor at first so I bought a new motor and nuthing happened. I was out the other day trying to get them to come on and i guess i was twisting on the nob too hard cause i heard a crack, and now my switch stalk just spins inside the switch.

Looking in my TSM the intermitent and non-intermitent switches have different plugs ends. I was wondering if the plug that plugs into the intermitent module is the same plug for the non-intermitent switches. If so, ill just get the non-intermitent switch.

I hope im not making this too confusing.

The only difference between the two set ups is the wiring harness between the switch and the main wiring harness.
Unplug it from the switch then follow the wiring till you get to the little box thing. It should then come to another connector, unplug it there as well.
Plug your wiring harness into your switch and SAVE THE PIECE YOU UNPLUGGED AND REMOVED.
You should be good to go now.

You can remove the module and connect both ends of the harness to each other. You will have a dead spot where the intermittent part of the switch is, but everything else will work, inc. high, low, and park. (assuming yours is similiar to my '87)
