    Geez, your posts are really a lot of work to read without punctuation and capitals.

    Maybe you could separate your sentences with a new line, if you are having trouble from your cell phone or whatever?

    You mean a circuit breaker? Do you have the old switch? You should be able to transfer the circuit breaker to the new switch, if that's what it has.

    The wiring diagram is on www.oljeep.com - should show a circuit breaker, if there is one there. http://oljeep.com/gw/74_tsm/22-7-CJWiringDiagram.pdf I looked but do not see a circuit breaker.

    The original wiring diagram show a W/S-washer combo switch with a fused washer circuit only. That what you had in there to begin with?

    Linkwhy, I took care of your grammar since the experts say it's hard to read:

    "Hi. I bought an Omix wiper switch, but my old one had a stud for a metal box. Someone told me it was a fuse that opens up and then closes when it cools down. The new one has a spade terminal instead of a stud. Can I do away with the fuse box and just plug the wire into the spade terminal? It's a 74 cj-5. Or, should I put an inline fuse in the line. Thanks."
