This may be considered a commercial, but so be it: I just stumbled across
an article I posted back in 2004, right after I began selling the electric
wiper kits. People frequently ask me how that came about. That's
primarily what the article was about:

I've had the privilege of meeting ken a couple of days ago and having him supervise the install of his electric wiper kit.
It is truly a worthwhile upgrade from the stock hydrologic setup.
In the end you eliminate the wiper lever and washer toggle. In its place you have a round 2 speed switch that you can push to activate the washer motor. Then just to the side of the switch I put the delay controller. Intermittent wipers!!!! Who would of thought!!
Ken is a true gentleman, and has a excellent product. Well worth the upgrade.
Scott.

It can be. There's an appendix in the instructions (on the web site)
detailing how to convert to the later multi-function column switch. Lots
of folks have done it. My wiring harness is not needed in that case.
