1969 Cuda Wiper Motor Connections for aftermarket motor
As you face the motor installed in the car. standing in front of the car, there are 2 horizontal spades on the left, stacked, and there are 2 vertically oriented spades on the right, stacked. The upper horizontal is green, and the lower horizontal is blue. The lower vertical is red. The upper vertical is brown with a white tracer and goes to the right side terminal of the resistor. The other terminal on the resistor carries a solid brown wire from the bulkhead connector. The bulkhead connector takes the 4 solid color wires in the following order from top to bottom: brown, red, green, blue.
I am VERY curious to see if your logic regarding the resistor is correct and you can therefore make the 2 speed motor behave as a variable speed motor by using the variable resistor in the variable motor switch in place of the low speed resistor on a 2 speed motor. Please let us all know and how you wire this. I think if you just bypass the resistor (hook the brown wire out of the bulkhead to the top vertical spade, and used a 2 speed switch, you would just end up with both speeds being the high speed. If you figured out the wire that is hot on high speed and it was hooked to the variable speed output that would allow you to control the input but it isn't clear to me how the 2 speed motor will react (thinking about lamps that won't operate on a dimmer switch). So let us know!
Here are some pics that I hope will help. If you ask around on here somebody might have the plastic plug cover for the 4 wires at the motor from a scrap harness and that would help keep them from arcing to each other. I tried my "parts harnesses but they must all be off 3/variable speed wiper cars because that whole sub harness is gone (attached to the wiper motor I suppose.
