Hello,
1978 Taimar, original wiper motor.
I am trying to wire up my wiper motor and have a new APEM 644H toggle switch. On my wiper motor I have the terminals set up as:
1. Earth.
2. Brown/green stripe.
3. Blue/green.
4. Green.
5. Red/green.
I am stumped as to what wire goes to what terminal on the switch. The switch has 6 terminals -A1,A2,A3,B4,B5,B6. I get the feeling the switch is not right for this particular wiper motor.
I assume that whn the wipers are off then green should be switched to brown/green stripe, then for first speed green to red/green and green to blue/green for second speed.

Thank you in anticipation!

Does this help?
I think it is the same wiper system....same in the midget/mini/sprite...

If you can work out which contacts on the switch are on or off you should be able to calculate what connects where!
