American Bosch wiper motors

    Ok. Fairly simple question I think, but I wanted to get your opinions. I have American Bosch 12V wiper motors the PO had replaced the vacuum wipers with. Since they were never hooked up and can not find any info on them I was going to install a single pole toggle switch to turn them off and on.

    My question is "Does anyone have these motors and do they work well?" Also, would a "heater" type rheostat switch work in place of a toggle. I was thinking of purchasing one but did not want to waste $20.00 if it will not work. The switch rotates at three different amp settings and in my simple head seems like it would allow the wipers to work at three different speeds.

    Anxious to here some view points on this.

    Thanks

    Thinking 1 of the posts is park. Then slow and a little better but still slow. :D
    Mine run through a toggle.
