With bad wiper switch. Wipers run continuously and turn off only by pulling fuse. Can I run a simple toggle switch to the fuse to turn wipers on and off?

TEMPORARY. REMOVE THE FUSE, STICK A WIRE IN EACH LEG OF FUSE HOLDER---MAKE MY OWN IN-LINE FUSE W/2 FEMALE SPADE CONNECTORS (SEE MY PIC, AS FAR AS HOW TO MAKE AN INLINE FUSE HOLDER) USE THE CORRECT FUSE IN THE TEMPORARY SYSTEM

THEN SEARCH A SALVAGE YARD OR BUY A NEW SWITCH

INSTALLING IN THE FUSE HOLDER KEEPS YOU FROM CHOPPING UP YOUR WIRES---EZily DISMANTLED WHEN YOU FIX IT CORRECTLY
