Default Mystery connector identify please?

I have a 1989 Corvette automatic. I discovered this connector and can not see anywhere for it to plug into. I dont know if it was ever plugged in to anything. If anybody recognizes it please let me know. Thank you!

Armature/field end of the wiper motor I believe. Wire colors are what?

That might be incorrect - I thought the wiper motor end connector had 3 same size spades.

There are 3 wires. One is pink, one is brown and one is black.

Here is a picture of the wiper motor for the 89...note the three (3) prong spades for the plug. Think WVZR-1 is correct for this connector.

Good picture....not your hands TG... glad it is running better now.

I've got an 87 automatic. I just pulled the connector to verify the spade sizes. It goes to the top/front portion of the wiper motor. I can grab a photo if you need one.





*Stole that picture from eBay. It shows the spades/location for that connector really well.

You can just barely make out a second connector on the bottom of the picture (will be facing towards the outside of the car when mounted), that one has three same-sized spades.
