6 or 12 Volt? Vacuum or eletric?
I'd like to hook it to a battery to see if it works. Can anyone tell me what the Red Green, Black wires go to? I don't want to burn it up if I hook it up to a 12 volt battery & it's a 6 volt motor. My truck has a Ron Francis wiring harness & updated powertrain, so I'm not to familiar with the orginal equipment on it. Any help on the wires (red, green, black 12 volt or 6 volt) would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Ricky

If you ground the case, and secure the thing in a vise - cause it's gonna jump, you should be able to touch two of the three wires with power and it should run.
Question, do you have the switch, was it hooked up and do you remember what color went where? The tabs on the switch are labeled. P= Parking; B= your power into the switch; A= normal speed; and F= Fast speed.
Ground the case with the negative post on the battery, then touch each wire individually with a lead from the positive post - when touched, on two of those three wires, the motor should run.
There have been a couple of really good threads on the "Parking" function.
Rather than re type, I'll let you read throught them.

I took the wiper motor aprt last night & the 3 wires that go into it from the switch was all melted together in a big clump of plastic. I stripped everything back down & cleaned everything up. I sanded everything down, soildered three new leads in, cleaned everthing up, put in a new daub of grease & volia`, It all works now. All I need is a few nuts & bolts, some clips & wiper arms & I'm good to go.
Thanks Julie,
