Has anyone wired wipers themselves?
I am still flailing on wiper elecrics on 72 restomod. It has American Autowire harness with a single wire that says wiper feed. I got a bunch of old harness with the car and found a 3 wire plug(blue,yellow,green) that I now know goes tthe motor. I have the old relay which I may replace. Nothing else. I do not need door limit switch or override solenoid. It lookis like the wiper feed could connec to the left side of switch(where blue wire should be) I would think that that should then connect to pos side of relay. After that I am stumped. I am hoping someone else who is smarter than me has figured this out. Thanks!

Hello,
Are you still using a wiper door?
If so, the system needs to know if the door is up or down before turning the wiper motor on or off.
It's straight forward if there's no door.

No door, no override solenoid. But no wiring plugs either. There is much conflicting info out there, maybe due to yearly changes, or lack of knowlege. Just for starters is plug for switch supposed to have two or three wires? I have seen both. Then one wire to relay, one to motor plug and also red motor wire. I think that one is yellow. Any help ypu can provide would be appreciated.

Thanks guys, the very last pic answers one big question It does not seem that that connector is available though. It is amazing how much work it is to ferret out all the details. I have the Wilcox diagram which is finally starting to make sense. There is still the question of what the 10 and 11 wires are in the Wilcox diagram. I have started to order the parts. I found the relay and connector today. And Alan that is one pretty car!
