9 pin wiper switch??

Hello all.. Brand new here, been lurking for a while using forums for info and lessons. But this has me stumped and I can't find any help anywhere..
I've got a 1986 Camaro Z-28 Iroc
I'm chasing a wiper issue and went to replace the wiper switch. When I took the column apart I noticed I have a 9 pin connector for the wiper switch.
So started looking for a replacement and all I can find are 5 and 7 pin switches.. Am I missing something here? Why can't I find a 9 pin anywhere??

I just looked up the 86 Camaro on Rock Auto. If you get the 5 terminal you can just re-use your connector by removing the terminals from the connector with a paperclip and putting them in your old connector. Do them one at a time so you don't mix the wires up

I hadn't even thought about repinning it.. I'll give that a shot and hopefully it'll work. Thanks

Wanted to follow up and say that swapping the connector worked out. Wipers work on all speeds so I appreciate the help..

Also just thought I'd share.. I was told the 9 pin connector is from a 4th gen Camaro. So now I know someone swapped a harness in my car.
