OK...thanks...bench tested it and it works...but how do you tell if it has the intermitent function.. able to adjust speed....it worked ok for high speed and low speed...but how do you tell if the motor is has the intermitent function that you can adjust speed, I think refered to as pulse...?????

The wire is for arm location... so the arms stay in time with the controller.. If you look behind the cover you'll see the crank has a pin on it that hits the sweep as it comes around. The entire function of the delay is controlled by the switch and the controller box in your console.
