FridgeFreezer Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 This is currently the source of more confusion than I expected - does anyone have a diagram that actually shows the 2-speed wiper wiring for a Series 3, and/or a picture or diagram of the correct switch an the wires going to it?

Gazzar Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I've a late series three with the 2 speed switch, plus wash. Do you need a photo of the back of the switch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazzar Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I'll try tonight. Otherwise the weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 The only difference with two speed is there is one more wire to the motor. ULG is the high speed. NLG = off, RLG = low speed, LGB = wash, G = power. https://www.landyzone.co.uk/attachments/wiper-motor-connections-pdf.70470/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's the theory but no-one seems to have a 2-speed switch (part no 575146) or even a picture of one, and the one I sourced from eBlag is not actually internally wired correctly for self-parking if you use the regular diagram as you posted. So there's a discrepancy somewhere in all this. It would work with a Defender wiper stalk, but not the rotary-type switch, at least as far as I can find. So, the question remains as to where the real differences are and what an original install looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneandtwo Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I converted my 2a lightweight to twin speed with park using a series headlight switch, if any use? Didn’t require any cutting into loom either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Fridge, what makes you say it isn't wired for self park? As I understand it, that is all internal to the wiper motor.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzar Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 That true. There's a little plastic on thing about an inch long on the motor. Permanent live to the motor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 Thanks Gazzar those photos are absolutely bang-on! The self park feeds back through the switch on the Brown/Light Green wire, which is connected to the SLOW speed contact when switched OFF... and thanks to @Gazzar it shows that the switch I bought is NOT the right thing despite being advertised as the correct Land Rover part number. My single-speed switch looks the same as Gazzar's but with one fewer terminal. All makes sense now! Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) I used a Cole Hersee Switch. Fits the stock location and you get variable intermittent. Works great. https://www.littelfuse.com/products/switches/windshield-wiper-switches/electronic-windshield-wiper-switches.aspx They also do non intermittent ones: https://www.littelfuse.com/products/switches/windshield-wiper-switches/electrical-windshield-wiper-switches.aspx Edited April 2, 2019 by Red90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowie69 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 They look great! An all in one solution, probably stick one on the Moggy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzar Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Does anyone know of a UK to stockist for these? I can only find in quantities of 80. Which costs more than I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzar Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Littelfuse have none in stock. They need a bulk order to manufacture. So I'm looking at the Smart range, instead. They're based near Abergavenny. I've asked them what they recommend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazzar Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 That's very tempting. The locally made alternative isn't as slick. But it's made just up the road. And cheaper. https://www.smart-screen.co.uk/ but clumsier. You've to switch on, then off, to get the intermittent wipe. I'm torn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenryC Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Attaching an drawing I made to use the Lucas Switch that has no power terminal when switched off (for park power). An additional relay needs to be wired in. I marked most of the wire colors as found on the Series III. The switch I used for the drawing is what is available from the market as replacement for the wiper switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenryC Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 And I would like to link this page which gives the clearest explanation of how the parking works. https://www.gomog.com/BLAIR/tech/electrical/wipers/2speed/2SpeedWiperMotor.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very simple if you are wiring a Marinco afi windshield wiper? There are three terminals. There are three wires, red, black , orange. The black is ground, labeled with black Mark, the red goes to the forward spade and the orange goes to the rear spade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK this is getting weird round here - random newbies with 0 posts replying to years-old threads, and this one isn't even relevant to the actual thread???
