Mini Wiper Motor Wiring

[Guest Tim Norman]

Here's one for you clever sparky people out there.

I am replacing the single speed mini wiper in the Stealth Kitten with a twin speed. In the Kitten it runs off a rocker switch that also runs the wash wipe function.

I have separated that function so the wash is on a separate button.

Now I need to make the wiper work on a new rocker switch.

My question is how?

On the single speed there was just two wires going to the motor that made it work, so what do I need to add to energise the third wire on the motor?

I have Nigel's drawing of the sierra wires to mini loom so I know which wire is which it is at the other end I am struggling with!

Never mind I found what I needed. Linky

Looking at the Picture I assume that I need to bring power to pin 2 as well as sending it to the wiper motor otherwise the motor is powerless, correct?

[Les Welsher]

Tim,

When the switch is turned off, power to the motor to park the wipers comes from pin 4 (green) at the wiper motor via the park cam switch in the motor which connects to pin 2 (brown/lt.green) from the motor to pin 5 at the switch, as pin 4 and 5 are connected when the switch is off then power goes from pin 4 at the switch to pin 5 (red/lt.green) on the motor making a circuit until the cam switch breaks the contact when the wipers park.

 

Hope that make sense

If using the sierra stalk switches the 2 speed mini motor can give intermittent wipe as well.

Les Its is the other end at the switch I was after. On my piccy I assume pin 4 is where the power comes in from my fused switched live and also goes out to the motor.

 

Its is in a Reliant Kitten so there is no stalk. In the Kitten the original motor only had one speed and no park. Not bothered about intermittent. I am replacing the Oringinal dash with a modified Mini Dash that now looks like this

Picture of the modified Reliant Kitten for the young pups who don't know what one looks like!

Ahh, remember the Reliant Kitten --- way back when first produced was going to buy & him & hers -- pity they didn't prove successful.

try this one

 

Fused switched live to pin 2 on switch gives power to pin 4 on switch and to motor when switch is on position 1, pin 2 gives power to pin 1 for fast speed when switch is on postion 2.

That conforms what I thought.

Cheers Les

I agree with Les. Pin 2 on motor to pin 5 on switch. Switch and motor wired as in his diagram.

Thanks again. Will swap the single speed out tomorrow and swap the worm drives over. Then sort the wiring.
