hey folks,
i'm trying to retrofit a front wiper motor from a '99 XJ for use in a '52 ford truck (using a '72 ford truck wiper switch)...
pulled a motor from the junkyard, but for some reason the wiper motor wiring diagram in my 00/01 XJ FSM doesn't actually match the motor (?). oddly, the wiper diagram in my old haynes manual doesn't match either!
trial & error i've figured out which wires are used for ground, high, and low, but i can't seem to figure out how to get the 'park' feature to work. i've got two leftover wires on the motor (green and blue). it could be that maybe one of them is used for 'intermittent' (which my switch doesn't support), but any insight how to make the motor park when swtiched off would be appreciated.
fwiw, when i hook up the wire from the switch which i believe is correct for park (12v hot) to the blue wire, the motor actually does park but does so immediately when the switch is turned to the 'low' or 'high' position (not when it is switched off).
thanks in advance; this is driving me crazy and is seemingly way harder than it needs to be!
