You do not have the wires or the motor and relays to swap direct checked into this myself. Cheapest is jc whitney that has a int switch you add on and control seperately. To convert you need wiring and motors with relay circuit along with the switch.

You do need additional wiring and the module.
I relocated the module from on the wiper motor under hood to inside behind the dash.
Wiring was easier that way.
Here are wiring schematics I made.

So the module on the wiper motor is all that is needed besides switch and additional wiring? I may hit the junk yard if that is all. On you schematic are the splices and adds on the bottom figure all that is needed to be done? Is that the module from wiper motor?? Thanks for any help I would love to do this.

I spent more time on my diagram.
Red indicates the intermintent module, wiper switch connector and related wires.
Blue indicates the one wire that needs to be removed from the wiper switch and added to the intermintent module.
The wire that it replaces needs to be removed completely.
Black indicates existing components that stay untouched.
There are 3 or 4 splices that need to be done.

RT22, it should be a squarish beige/tan box attached to the wiper motor with a clamp.

Hey guys,
I know this is an old post and a long short but im just wondering if anyone have information concerning this relay. Im having big problems trying to get this hooked up right.
Any pictures and details would be awesome.
I saw there were some photo's posted in 2010 and since been deleted.
Thank you in advance!
