Default WS Wiper Motor Over Ride Switch?

Where can I get one? I've checked a few vendors and they don't have any listed online.

Hi B72,
I looked in some catalogues and many of the larger vendors carry the switch. Have you tried Willcox, Paragon, Dr. Rebuild?

You can install just about any kind of rotary, toggle or push-button switch you want to do that job. It just has to have an adequate current carrying capability (whatever rating the fuse has for that circuit). It merely turns off the power to the wiper motor. Go to Radio Shack to pick up a suitable switch.
