Column replaced and Windshield wipers don't work

I have recently purchased a 1990 Jeep Laredo and had to have the steering column replace. After the column was replaced the wipers did not work. I have traced the wire from the switch on the column and found it does not connect to anything. I have been unable to track down a wiring diagram and due to a snow storm today I sorta need to try to get this fixed. If anyone can direct me to a wiring diagram or enlighten me to where this wire goes it would be greatly appreciated.

Who did the steering column replacement job? They may well have left something un-plugged. If it's a used column, it could have a bad switch. The wires from the switch go to the intermittent wiper module on the left side of the column then three go to the wiper motor, one to the washer pump, and one (black) goes to ground. I'd take it back if someone else did the repair for you.

Would love to but he is about 900 miles away. So I have to do the job myself. I will look for the the module.
Thanks

The Haynes manual has a wiring diagram for the front wipers that shows the colors of the wires and where they are supposed to go. It may help if you are going to fix it yourself.
