I'm replacing the wiper switch on my '73. I bought a used wiper switch from @914Sixer . There's a loose piece in the bag and I cannot tell where it goes in the switch.

Does it just pop in somewhere or is it broken?

Looks like your new switch is missing the long metal piece that makes contact with that short ground piece.

So I'll need this piece (see pink arrow) for the switch to work as well?

That's what i'm thinking.
Do you have a multi-meter? You should be able to trace out your new switch.

Who knows, maybe it has some different innards we can't see.
