Variable Speed Wiper Switch Question

[Reddartowner]

Thanks to all the FABO members that helped me sort out my wiper switch issues, I now have working wipers in my '68 Dart. But I have a new question.... The variable speed switch I'm using has an extra terminal that I dont' know what is supposed to plug into it. Anyone have an answer..??? (green arrow in the picture below)

That seems to be an outfeed to provide power to the backup lights circuit on cars with a shifter mounted backup switch

Ditto. Wiper switches usually have a power feed-thru for other devices. The terminal has nothing to do with the wiper, it was just a convenient place for the factory to branch power from. There is sometimes an isolated terminal for an electric washer pump, marked "W". It gets power when you press on the wiper switch.

Thanks. If that terminal is hot all the time then I guess I'll cap it for safety. I know where the washer terminal is... on the connector with the four pins. That's why the extra terminal confused me.........
