Default Rear Wiper Control - Convert Conslole to Stalk

Hello All, I came across a 1979 245 that was being parted out - among the mountain of parts that i grabbed was the updated wiper stalk that includes the controls for the rear wipe and wash on it. My question is regarding converting the black console switch style presently in my 1978 245 to using the stalk version. any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

I have no experience directly, but the circuits in my 79 estate are not sophisticated.

Did you grab both parts of the plug for the stalk switch? They probably have a different number of wires entering.

You should be able to reroute the wire from the console switch to the stalk, try and compare the relevant wiring diagrams found here:

thanks will do. the stalk itself plugs right in and there is a brown wire with loop coming off the side. guessing it will get power/ground/tuner from plug and brown for relay? also the wiper does not park anymore-meaning when i turn it off it just stops wherever it is at that moment instead of returning to the park position-is yours like that?
