Default 81 wiper wires

On my 81 wiper motor there is a resistor or capacitor connecting the orange and yellow wires. I was wondering if this was a stock item, since it was covered with duct tape.

Ben,

I have the same part on my 81. It's not covered just hanging out there. I'm interested to learn if it has something to do with the delay. That's my best guess.

Mine, too. I noticed that when the ground on this was loose, my tach acted erratically. It's not the delay, though. That relay is in the storage area behind the passenger side seat.
