Default still trying to fix wiper motor

my old thread
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c3-t...orry-guys.html

i've been in the garage since 7PM and still not sure what to conclude.
I am following the wilcox SOP and feel comfortable with hooking up the
power wire and the #2 connector wire to 12 Volts.

Also think i got the ground wire grounded properly, BUT would like to know how to test that with volt meter? Is it simple as voltage across is ZERO ....?

next I hookup wire from connector #3(blue) {high speed on motor} and touch it to the negative bolt on the alternator.
I thought this should make the motor start to run on high speed....?
AM i wrong ?
all i get is a little spark when i touch the wire and i can hear at least 2 relays clicking..... one sounds like under the dash on driver side and the other sounds like it is coming from under wiper door....

if there is anyone out there who wants to help i can pm my phone #
or if i left anything out just ask.

TIA if someone can help....

-ALF out...
