Default wiper wiring

Not sure if you have this. I had bubba wiring on my 68 also. Depending on the vendor, your replacement motor may have slightly different wiring points on the motor. Your washer contacts are like the stock one. My replacement motor (Ecklers) has blade connectors and two pigtail wires included to replace the barrel connectors for the little magnet for the washer. Your replacement has a copper strap that replaces a blade connector for ground on the stock washer motor. (so you will have an "extra" ground wire, since the stock blade connector is not there) I'm not sure you could intentionally design a more confusing wiring setup than the one on the Corvette. If your motor works, count yourself lucky.

Thanks. Im adding to my library so I can figure this out. My old motor functions but lacks the blades. As soon as my new motor shows I will verify that it has the proper blades and plugs
