'66 Toronado Wiper Switch

Would anyone have a good wiper switch for a '66 Toro?

I was driving the car in the rain the other day and the wipers were working just fine. When I went to turn them off they wouldn't stop wiping. Later that day I pulled the switch, disassembled, cleaned and lubed everything but after reinstalling they still won't turn off. I'm hoping it's the switch and a replacement will solve this.

My money says it's the wiper motor. Test it by disconnecting the switch wiring and jumpering across the plug to activate the motor and then stop it. If it still acts up with the switch out of the circuit, motor.

Yeah, you need to go through the elaborate troubleshooting procedure in the Chassis Service Manual (at least I think it's in the CSM in '66), and you'll find the problem.
