Painless Wiper Switch

I am working on a custom 81 project. I have the original wiper motor and it bench tests nicely. I have a Painless universal switch that I'm trying to incorporate. I understand the motor requires continuous 12v feed and the speeds are controlled via grounding the high and low speed terminal with the low speed function requiring grounding both the high and low speed terminal. I have searched options and have come up with nothing. I'm thinking someone has tackled this issue...
Thanks, Jim

Hey Jim-

Here's how to do it-

This switch- DPDT (AKA Double Pole Double throw) 3 position switch

Here's how to wire it for 77 and earlier

78 later- thanks to Willcox for laying out the colors-

So basically- Blue (in above diagram) = purple
and Green = gray on the later motor

A-No connection
B-No connection
C-Pin 2 on switch ( marked Blue above)
D-Pin 5 on switch (marked Green above)
E- Ground
F-to switch to ground to control washer
G-Ground
H-No connection
I- No connection

So- will need another switch to ground to control washer...
