    Testing wiper motor on an E30

    This part worked on my car before hand, but I wanted to video it working before I mailed it off to another forum member.

    So if I wanted this thing to work, which wires do I supply 12v with to make it work?

    My guess is red for positive and green for ground. But brown is also ground and looks to have a resistor between it and the green wire.

    Any ideas?



    Anyone?

    See if you can follow the BK/RD, BK/WT, BK/YL, and BR wires, or at least check where those wires attach to the motor (lower right in pic).

    Thanks for the schematics. I went for it.

    Red to positive and green to ground. Watch your fingers!
