I guess the switch that you want is the one behind the speedometer. A single wire with a vacum switch.

Are you looking at the right wiring diagram?
There are two Dr Rebuild diagrams for your car - do you have both?
The wiper override switch wire is on the dash harness diagram
(top center) as that wire is not part of the ignition harness which has the connectors for the wiper motor itself.

Yes, I have both doc rebuild's diagrams and I actuall wrote them to find out that there was an actual wiper door override switch that they no longer make and no one is making a repo. Looks like a wiper motor override switch with only one elec. prong.
