Hello all... Its been a while since I've posted and am humbly asking for your advice...
From what I can tell from a short search on the interweb, wiper switches for these things are as rare as hens teeth... Specifically part number D80B-17A553-AA.
I'm not sure if it's a switch for intermittant or just the 2 speed switch. It seems to have only 3 positions... maybe off, slow and fast??? I'm unsure because they have never worked since I've had it, and found the switch in a couple of pieces with copper bits and springs missing. 
Any advice for a new owner of these beautiful beasts???
Much appreciated and...  Cheers

sounds like you have the standard 2 speed switch! intermittent switch will also turn to the left and can be identified by the red wire connector and control box! if you can find the intermittent switch with wires and box it will plug into your wiringWink

Thumbs Up It's an upgrade in my opinion and actually cheaper/easier to find as well.

Yeah, It's a Hybrid...It burns gas and tires.

No matter how good she looks, somebody, somewhere, is tired of her sh*t.
