Default Some electrical questions mk4 escort

Hi there I have just bought another mk4 escort however it does not have the time adjustable wiper switch. Can I swap it from my first car or is there more to it than that eg relays and extra wiring

Also the fuel computer is the wiring plug there for it if I swapped that over too or is the loom different. I know I would also need to fit the speedo cable sender unit too but again is there somewhere on the loom ready for it

Find the wiper relay and run a wire from the centre pin location in the relay block to the spare pin hole in the wiper switch plug (top corner if I remember). Then fit the switch and intermitant relay and you should be away.

It depends what car you bought and what loom it has?
