Thread: Need help with wiper motor

Tweet

Ok I've exhausted all resources. I pulled a wiper motor from an old 1995 Ford Taurus thinking that even though they make crappy vehicles maybe their accessories could be of some use. So far not really. I've scoured the internet looking for a wiring diagram for this motor and can't find anything at all. Looking at some other motors I see they have a 5 terminal connection and there is lots of info but this one is a six terminal connection and I can't figure it out. I don't want to just start touching a 12V source to the terminals to find what works yet, but if I can't find any info that's what I'll have to do.

If anyone has used this type of motor or could point me in the right direction I would be extremely grateful!

Thanks

Well the good news is you can't really fry a wiper motor by touching the prongs with 12v. It will most likely run fast/slow or not at all. Can you post a pic?

I will get some pictures up in a bit.

Here's the picture of the wiring hook up. I already figured it out but thought I'd throw this up for anyone else who comes across this style of motor. From the right the white wire is your high speed connection, the Dark Blue/Pink wire is the common, and the yellow wire is the low speed. I know it goes without saying but you would connect the negative wire from your power supply to the common and your positive wire to either the high or low speed depending on which one you want. Hope this helps someone else in future!

That's great that you figured it out!

Thanks thisain'tmayberry! And thanks for being willing to help if I didn't get it
