Orgasmic Farmer Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I am currently rebuilding a bulkhead and want to check my wiper motor is in order before i go any further. I can see which is the negative terminal but which of the other wire need power in order to get some life out of the motor. It is a early (1983) model if that makes a difference.

landroversforever Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I haven't got my haynes manual near me, but might be worth a look in there for the wiring colours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgasmic Farmer Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 I have a wiring diagram for a later model but it is gobbledygook to me! There are 4 different coloured wires to the motor plus earth. If the thing is earthed and I put 12v to each of the 4 different wires will it eventually show signs of life, assuming it to be a working unit? Or does more than one terminal need to be live?

ejparrott Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 When getting my 109 prepped for MoT, and finding wiper to be non - functioning, I think I just put a live to all the terminals until it worked. Its a single speed motor so only three wires..or is it two...anyway, it worked! Traced the fault to dirty contacts which were all cleaned and then we're up and running again.

Disco-Ron Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 if its a one speed motor then there should be only two wires, simple, earth and live, if its a two speed, removes the wires from the park switch, blue yellow and red from memory, blue is earth, red and yellow are one speed and two, the only this you can.t easily test is the park switch.
