Looking for switch, not stalk mounted, wiper switch. Thanks!

You need the wiper SPEED switch? The one on the dashboard, near the cigarette lighter? I might have one.

Yes, mine operates the on/off function by pulling it out and I believe would control speed if operable, correct? Thanks!

Actually, the switch on the dash is a two speed switch for the wiper speed as Paul mentioned.  The stalk on the right of the steering column turns the wipers off and on.

I’m really confused now, as I don’t have a stalk, just the pull switch on the dash. Going to have to pull it and find a part number. Were all 2002’s set up this way?

Sherman is 100% correct. On a 1973 model, the turn signal stalk switch is ALSO the "ON/OFF" switch for the wipers. Press / click the end cap inward (toward the column) and the wipers should go on. Only on earlier cars (67-71) is that pull switch used to turn them on. The pull switch is just the speed (slow vs fast).

Thank you both for the clarification, I’ll now be on the lookout for a 67-71 switch to replace what is there. Thanks!

...and remember: On cars built before 1974...the turn signal switch is on the RIGHT side of the column!!!!!
