Default Wiper motor ground

Hi everyone, I hope someone can help me. I have a 1969 Corvette and the wipers do not work. I have a photo of a wire that I can't figure out where it plugs in at. I appreciate all the help I can get.
Thank You
John

Hi John,
For 71 an additional individual spade terminal is mounted on the wiper motor frame for that connection.
Perhaps true for your 69 too?
Regards,
Alan

Hi C69,
Thanks for the 69 photo.
I'm wondering if the wire has enough length to it to reach that far?
It's a little difficult to determine in John's photo.
Regards,
Alan
