Wiper motor ground
I am working on my new engine harness and the diagram shows the ground at the starter bolt grounding the blower motor and the wiper motor but I can`t find anywhere to plug the wiper motor ground onto the motor housing. There is a small metal strap that runs from the bottom mounting bolt to the motor housing but no where to plug the ground onto. The plug on the new harness has a spade connection and I don`t want to go cutting up a new harness already.

supposed to be a spade tab under one of the 1/4" hex screws holding the flat metal cover on the surface of the housing, that cover holds the black plastic to do with the washer pump....so it's on the lower end near driver's side....should be anyway....if not there, get a tab from some electrical place...like Lowes Depot...

with Gene you should have a male spade under one of the screws.Your harness should have a female connector.

you guys are right but there was no male spade under one of the screws in the metal housing so I took a small black wire and crimped a male spade on one end and a ring terminal on the other and made a jumper that would plug into the new female and the ring would go on the housing.
