The cigar lighter is is self-grounding.

An outer sleeve screws onto the inner socket.
This outer sleeve has teeth on the mounting edge which shears into any paint to the bare metal on the dash ,for grounding.

Do you not have a cigar lighter to look at ?


Wiper motor.
No, The wiper motor plugs into the main harness.

What year truck is this ?

This is from a 78.

The 2 wires from the wiper motor unplug from the harness wiring.

The harness has a one piece plug that goes to the wiper switch.

Is this a yellow blullet connector that plugs into a 3 hole female plug ?

I have a pic of one.

Is this the plug you are talking about ?

That connector is a switched 12V source. A great place to tap into power for accessories like CBs, radios, stereo amps, etc.
