1600M Wiper motor electrics/wiring

[Alan Snowling]

Can someone please tell me which wires/female spades go to which 1-5 numbers on the multi plug connected to the wiper motor. I have five wires - 2 x black, 2 x black with tan and orange tags, 1 x black with brown and orange tags.

I don't know what the differences are between a Vixen and M but if you have 5 spade connections on the motor then this thread may be useful. Not too sure about the colour coding though?

Ren,

Thanks for the info, it helped a lot. The wiring colours turned out to be more sensible once I had cleaned 31 years worth of muck off them!

For anyone else with wiper motor problems reading this thread, I found a supplier that stocks complete kits and will also supply seperate parts for lucas wipers on http//www.s-v-c.co.uk. They also have valuable info and diagrams re. wiring and mechanical set up which I wish I had found yesterday!

Sorry,

The company is - Stafford vehicle components and the link is:
