it doesn't take much more effort to fix it right.

but if you really want total control, all you need a couple toggle switches and hard wire them right to the motor.

ok srry but that diagram didnt help me at all. thanks though...what im trying to do is wire my actual wiper motor to a switch then to the battery so it will turn on at a flick of a switch...here is a few picks of the wiper motor out of a 96 caravan...


notice the 3 pins! one on left is black, one in middle is brown with pink stripe, right is green with pink stripe.


Now im shur the black is ground but wich is power? my guess is its the green one cuz it goes to what looks like a black resistor thenn to the motor along with the black wire. the brown one goes into the white pluggin where the 3 meet below the shaft.

for a lot less effort and screwing around, you can just fix the problem the right way.

I have a copy of the wiring diagrams and it is easy and straight forward how to wiring the motor direct to a switch. the wiring diagrams clearly spell out which wire color does what on the motor.

just look at the diagram, the diagrams clearly show which wires do each.

infact if you just power over the relay it'll be on. look at the diagrams. if you can read a map, you can read a wiring diagram, it's just an electrical map.

Default i'm having the same issue

Any chance you can send me that diagram, please? I am having the same issue and kind of waited a lil long to renew some things, and need an inspection..and with no working wipers, that is not looking so good on my part. I was going to just hard wire it as well, but if you have an easier method..please, I will be willing to try anything, Thanks, Josh. josh.aloof@gmail.com
