Joe,
No, unfortunately, the wiper switch is an odd ball, and no single, readily
available, switch will work and give you two speeds. You can replace it with a
single switch if you can live with one speed. If you want to retain two
speeds, it will take two switches. For more info on wiper switches and wiper
operations, go to:

I have a modified version of the "emergency replacement switch" diagram, with
two switches for two speed operation. If you are interested, let me know and
I'll send it to you.
