Wiper Wiring

[Brett Proctor]

Is this the correct wiring for the wipers?? Found it on the web but no mention to what it went to. It just had the same color wires that I have.
Thanks
Bret

For a toggle switch, yes. A rotary switch would have the terminals different on the back. Found this on Samba if it helps:

But there's no color-confused*

Looked for those markings on the motor but found nothing

Thanks for trying

I still need to figure out how to tie in the intermittent function in also. I may just leave that out if it becomes to much of a problem.

The intermittent wiper usually requires a circuit of some sort I think. Could be wrong though.

Brett,
Here's a link to a thread discussing the wiring with color codes. They also talk about putting in an intermittent circuit off other vehicles: TheSamba.com :: View topic - Wiper Switch & Motor Wiring

I have a complete intermittent wiper system out of a 1991 honda accord but the problem is that part of the system is intergated into the fuse box and to have that big old box installed just for the intermttent wiper system is more than I want to do and not knowing how its wired inside of the box I don't know how to bypass it.

Here's part of the wiring I have for it. I have other diagrams on it but this is the simplest.
The unit is sealed but I may try to open it up to see how its wired.

With the end of my build getting closer I've started to go through items that I wont be using. One of them is the original Bosch wiper motor that came with the car and I thought I'd answer my question on the motors wiring.
This is the correct wiring diagram for it. Green is +low speed, Red is + high speed, Black is not ground but is + park. The case housing is the ground so this needs to be grounded. There is no additional wire for ground.
I suppose you don't need a toggle switch for it, but just a 3 position switch will do. 1 main power in and 2 separate power lines going out for the high and low speeds.
As far as intermittent wipers go, installing the wiper relay that I talked about in another post will give you intermittent wipers.
