Then you're stuffed.

I would have liked the rotary knob, but I couldn't figure out how to get the self park to work. The toggle switch provides power to one of the terminals in the "OFF" position, which keeps the wipers moving until a limit switch on the motor breaks the circuit, making the switch an ON, ON, ON 3-position switch.
I don't know how the contacts in the rotary switch are configured.
I'll call Holden and ask them and report back.

...althernatively, you could just swap the functions of the rotary switch and the one next to it, so that the toggle switch operates the wipers and the rotary switch operates whatever it is that the toggle switch currently operates. That way, you can have self-parking wipers and still retain the original look.

That would be the heater fan -- I almost never use it either! Well, this is one of those obscure "originality points," a rotary knob that also parks the wipers.

This is the Wiper Switch from Cobra Restorers. I can't tell whether it self parks or not. It's Part #CP1368
