Ground to the body,positive to the center terminal, then ground the top terminal for 1 speed or ground the bottom terninal for the other speed. Remove ground from top or bottom terminals and the motor should park.

This page will tell you how to test the motor if it's 1963-1967 1969-1982. The wire colors may be different since it was done for a 1969-1972

thanks for all the replys! i will try the wilcox method. however, would this theoretically work to test the wiper motor itself
I pulled out the motor to clean and regrease the inside of the unit and shaved 1/8" off the wire sheathing to expose the wires and then bypassing everything else, tried to run the motor w/ a 12 volt transformer. It did not work. do i really learn anything by doing this?
