On the wiper motor and switch, there is a red, a blue, a white, and a black wire. We assume the black is ground. When the red and white cross, current flows, and therefore should start the wipers? Am I seeing that right? What in the heck is the blue wire for? Is this just for the second stage/high speed wipers? We can't get anything through it.
Those of you with Chiltons or wiring diagrams can see these wires and maybe help me?
I am trying to ensure that my two motors that I have (one that is the stock one, and one purchased from gqconley) are not both bad.
I have put a 12V lead on the red wire of one motor on the table, grounded the black and have nothing but a hot wire in my hands (ouch!), I have crossed the red and white wires on a 12V lead and grounded the black and have had a hot wire again (this is like a short)... and I have just hooked up the blue and black. That gives me nothing.
Do the red, white, and blue wires have to go together to a hot lead and then the black be grounded out before my motor will do anything on the table?
In other words,
what's the best way to test my motors and my switches.
Does anyone understand my 1 am too tired lingo?
