Interval wipers where there were none.

Driver no got them, parts truck do got.
Is it pretty much a bolt up thing? swap the motors, and switches, and pull a couple extra wires?
Is there anything else I need to know about?

It's actually easier than you could imagine.
remove the switch, follow the ground wire and unbolt, follow the wires to the black box and unbolt, undo plug from the harness.
To install do the opposite from the removal procedure. the wiper motor does carry a different part number but I have never seen any reason why the swap was needed to be done. But if you already have it, pull it and swap it in if you feel the need to do so.

easier than that--just a harness--the other switch---and a module behind the cluster--youll see it when you get in there-------

So, that black box/module is what I had to remove and re-solder in the F-250, right?

the only time you will need to resolder is when the wipers are no worky. The installation is plug-n-play. there is no need to ground the black box, so my suggestion is to zip tie the darn thing to the main harness loom that way it has cushioning from shock from the e-brake pedal snap

Depending on the year, the mounting bracket should be there, too.

It took me over a year to figure out that my wipers were the interval type.
On my truck, you rotate the switch clockwise to get continuous wipers, counter-clockwise to get interval wipers. Duh!

If that ain't proof that a old dog can be taught new tricks.....I don't know what is....

 

[Full Monte]

Yeah...old dogs can learn new tricks. It just takes longer and longer, and longer....

That would be the snap that you get when you don't cover the pedal with your foot.

The box that was in the 80-86 trucks was wrapped in foam and isn't tied to anything, just sort of sits in the dash on top of the wiring harness...
As for being grounded, I've found that some will work without the switch ground hooked up, and some won't, so I just hook it up.

As for this e-brake pedal snap, what's that? Last I checked my truck didn't have one of those....

I only did that with one truck. If you didn't put your foot on the pedal it would wack your knuckles.
