wipers wires
Hello I have been rewiring my whole truck and am now hooking up the wipers. I am using a Ron Francis switch that has a rheostat for speed control. They told me to connect the feed wire to the fastest speed wire on the motor.
My motor has 3 wires coming out an orange – a black which I assume is ground and a grey. Can anyone tell me which wire is for the fastest setting?
Thank you
Lui

What year truck, 65 or 66? I have been looking at several wiring schematics but I can't find the wire colors you say you have. Can you tell me what terminals are on the original switch? That will help me figure out what wires are for what on the motor.

The truck is a 66. The plug is kinda triangular and plugs right into the side of the motor. The colors appear to be as I said. I have the Ford orange shop manual and it seems they dianose the system by runing a power lead to the middle wire (which happens to be the black one). I thought the middle black wire was ground since I put my test light clip on it and when I touched a power source it lit up.
But I tried putting a power lead to the other wires and one does nothing and the other one just puts them down.
So Im guessing these are for the parking mechanism the middle black is the main source and the motor is grounded thru the body.
I will try this tonite and see what happens maybe put an inline fuse on the power lead
thanks
