it plugs into the wiper door safety switch, that's just to the right of the wiper motor. there should be a plug with the same color wires right there.

It doesn't plug directly into the wiper motor. There should be a connector on the wiring harness near the wiper motor.

The bottom half is part of the engine wiring harness. The top connector goes to the wiper override switch which is behind the metal plate in the picture with the button sticking through it which is shown better in the previous picture.

If the switch is missing, it is available from a number of sources. Here are the part number from Lectric Limited.

look in the post titled "line and wire id". he has posted a perfect picture of what you need. in the center of the first pic can be seen a red wire and two hex head screws. the screws attach a plunger to an actuator rod (that goes thru the cowl wall and attaches to the wiper door transmission), and this plunger works a switch that opens the wiper motor circuit unless the wiper door is open.

Thanks All, I should have been more descriptive. The wire from the limit switch to the wiper motor is where I derail. I now believe I have the wiper motor assembly for a car without a wiper door. does anyone have a photo of a 69 wiper motor?

Thanks

Now I get it

Jay, thanks very much I now know I have the incorrect wiper motor assy. 69 had headlight washer, this is news to me. I have a motor without the extra weasher connection. I do have the wiring to support the wiper door but on the pic you sent, my assembly does not have that red wire coming from the back, thats the inhibit from the wiper door switch. I must also have a different console switch, how do you activate your headlight washer?
Thanks, Roger.

Thanks, Roger.

The headlight washer is activated by pressing and holding the washer button on the dash. As long as the button is held down the fluid is directed to the headlights by the valve at arrow "E". There are reproduction valves available for about $180 shipped

Is that the same washer button that directs fluid to the windshield?
