The convertible is blowing fuses on the windshield wipers. I have tracked the problem down to a short in a wire in the steering column. This is my opportunity to fix multiple issues at once by swapping the column from a parts car. It will give me an auto column like it should have, it will fix my horn issue, and it will fix the wiper issue. The problem is, the parts car has delay wipers (which I wouldn't mind adding to the convertible). I can see the wiper motor wiring is the same, but haven't had a chance to climb under the column of the parts car yet (gotta fog it for spiders first...lot of black widows around here).
Here is a portion of the only wiring diagram I can find for it...
The blue is the non-delay wiper switch, the red is the delay wiper switch, the purple is the module in question. Where is this located? Logic would dictate that it is under the dash somewhere near the base of the steering column, but GM never was known for using logic in their designs. Am I correct in assuming this swap will be as simple as taking that module along with the steering column?

Aerodonamic converted the 88 from 2 speed wipers to delay wipers by:
A. Replacing the column with one equipped with a delay stalk and wiper switch.
B. Replacing the 2 speed motor with one designed for variable speed.
