Default Wiper overide

Hey guys I have a question. On a 72 with a aftermarket hood does the overide switch for the wipers have to be hooked up for wipers to work?

The limit switch is long gone. I guess the overide has to have power then . If I read that correctly

The override opened the ground path so you can either go straight to ground or use a reliable switch. I have the original 68 turn **** and Im considering swapping to a good toggle
