What a mess! Testing out the new motor here, wired up temporarily (carefully) with alligator clip leads:


Decided to completely scrap the old harness because it was old and junk. Standard 16-14 gauge connectors, and I drop a bit of solder in:


Some heat-shink tubing on each connection, just in case:



Fits pretty well! This is the proper way to make a new harness:



New harness at home here on the wiper switch. This won't be visible, so all of this newness won't show:


Motor installed back again. That really long bolt there is temporary. I added a junction block as a common ground - the previous wiring had it all just jumbled together in a mess of solder and wire and electrical tape. I didn't have a proper length 1/4-20 bolt, so I used this one. I'll probably just mark this one to the exact length that I need and then cut it to length with a Dremmel tool:


Wipers working and running (and parking too). The mechanism is pretty cool, in order to park, it runs in reverse, which then activates a cam with effectively extends the arm until it hits a switch. This causes the wipers to park themselves much further off to the side than they would normally be wiping. Pretty cool design if you ask me!
