Default Relay Does What ?

My Tech manuals didn't arrive yet....need help!

"NEW-RESCUE" '68 convertible
327 engine A/T
No A/C
No power accessories

This relay (among many others) was disconnected under the console forward of the shifter assembly.....

What colore-coded wiring connector attaches to the 3 prongs?

What color-coded connector attaches to the separate 2-prongs?











RATTTTTTTS...fuzzy pics....

3-prong section is in triangular shape

2-prong section located 1/2" from 3-prong is in-line

Thanks in advance for bailing me out

That is the wiper relay.

I'll find Willcox's drawing for the connector/wire colors.

1st post of the last page has the diagram. If you find it hard to see where each wire lands, Ernie was kind enough to put colored dots right of the relay terminals.

Thanks DZR.....my new wiring harness was one color different than the hacked-up/spliced/w/telephone wire OEM harness....

which was more than enough to fry my wittle brain....

Black/Black-White/Green

Yellow/Blue


EDIT: Talk about timing...my wife just handed me a UPS box................with a wiper switch inside.....!

I can now assemble the console/wiring/duct-cables/etc. in the morning...it would have gotten done today.......

BUT.....there was a small snag-----since the interior components were disassembled by the previous owner, so I had no idea that the Hurst A/T shifter was 2" TOO TALL for the console to bolt in place properly.

Two hours later I had fabbed a shifter mounting plate that bolted 2" below the surface of the tunnel/mounted the shifter to it....the shifter and console fit fine now! When I drop the A/T transmission next week I'll fiberglass a box around the lowered mounting plate and add insulation to the tunnel area to avoid heat being drawn in under the console.
