Wiper motor wiring 72
ok in a little bind here , my stock original wiper motor was covered in paint and junk so i removed it and cleaned well. problem is when i put back in it doesnt work, not that it is a big deal i dont take out in the rain, but you never know. problem is i maybe swapped a wire around, it has three places to plug in , the ground that goes under a screw on the cover, the 3 prong hook up that takes the green yellow and blue, that is a no brainer and on mine it has a single prong above the 3 prongs. i went to my neighbors and he only has the 3 prong line. not the one above it. hope i didnt fry the motor not marking them and pic or info will help thanks

You should find all the info you need on the wiper motor system at this link: http://willcoxcorvette.com/repairand...elp.php?hID=95
You find the schematic, test for running the motor, and just about anything you could need. If you don't figure it out.. Post again! We'll get you fixed.

The ground wire (4 in the picture) is from the blower motor hooks to a terminal connector on the bolt for the washer pump.

If your car has an alarm there will be a black wire coming from the hood switch that goes to the wiper motor and then the wiper ground plugs into the alarm ground plug. Maybe the black ground is missing and has fallen down out of site.
