ranger wiper motor, now what?
i got a decent 98 ranger wiper motor to replace my vac unit. i've been searching for wiring diagrams but haven't found one yet. at this point i'd be happy to have one speed on a toggle switch. i will investigate using a multi function switch when i get a chance. i have the pigtail on the wiper end, but not the other end that plugged into column? does anyone know which wires would give me one speed, or how i can figure it out without burning anything up? thanks, dick r.

Check out this site for some basic wiring diagrams.

i thought i sent a quick reply but i don't see it, so maybe i'll have two replies eventually. thanks mechmagcn for the suggestion. i had looked at that site, the body wiring diagram for '98 didn't have the wiper, but i went back and the earlier diagrams show an interval switch and an internal governor. unfortunately there is no internal diagram to help me outsmart the wires. if the internal governor is actually in the motor housing (looks like it), i'll probably pull it open i should be able to run it manually with a toggle. thanks for your help. dick r

What do you have for wires. The 91 wiper motor shows a black wire for ground and a white for power with either a dk/blue or black/pink for the control wire to get the intermittent and low speed.
If you have the same colors you should be ok to run 12v to the white and ground the black and get high speed. It also shows the motor case being grounded but that should be for the control to work properly.

52 f3, i have a black, white, red, blue and darkblue/red. i hooked up the back and white to a batt charger and i get full speed. THANKS (sorry for shouting). i don't really care about intermittent, is there a way to get slow with what i have or can i add a rheostat to get slower speed (is it just a voltage reduction). Thanks to 52f3 and all, FTE always comes through. dick r.

The blue/red should be for hi speed and the white lo speed. Try the blue/red instead of the white and see what you get.
The blue and red have to do with park and intermittent. I think you can just ignore them. Int. is a more complex systems that requires resistors and a timer. Park runs through a relay and the controller.

52f3, you got, that's exactly what it does. i'll get a two way toggle and have two speeds. now i have a challenge in using a full circle motor in place of a 90 degree. if i can get the motor arm length right, i think it will work. i think i'll need a sturdy bracket, the motor weighs a couple of pounds. thanks to 52f3 and the FTE forum again. dick r.
