Spitfire windscreen wiper switch for '69 Spit

[Mike_Bouse]

the switch has four terminals, marked 1 2 3 and 4

the restoration of the dash is nearly complete, except for a few minor items. Like the hookup of the wiper control switch.

Unfortuanely, two labels fell off the wires for this switch. now i do not know which wire belongs to terminal #3 or to terminal #4.

What color wire gets #3 terminal?
What color wire gets #4 terminal?

thanks in advance.

Mike - my MkIV wiring diagram indicates the following

Term 1 = Brown, w/Light Green tracer
Term 2 = Red, w/Light Green tracer
Term 3 = Green
Term 4 = Blue w/Light Green tracer.

Hope this helps.

Ross, i will give that a try.

Worst thing is that i was not able to test the wiper motor before i started the dash restoration project. Previous to loosing the wire markers.....

the only electrical item that was functioning before i began was the brake lights. Took two months to find everything and get lights, gauges, blower motor running.

this will be the last thing. those colors look good too.

I will letcha know, ross /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

I now have wiper motor and functioning wiper blades!

However, the switch is a two position switch. I get the same speed out of each position. Is this correct?

I was expecting either intermittant or two speeds.

What gives?

 

[Andrew Mace]

Relatively speaking, one speed SHOULD be faster than the other. Something might be wrong in your wiring of the switch?

 

[Mike_Bouse]

unless it is something inside the switch itself....i connected the four wires as Ross suggested.

the switch is an aftermarket replacement just obtained from SpitBits.

Mike - do you have a two-speed motor?

The two-speed motor came in withthe MkIV, but you might check hust in case. Is it a round wiper motor or kind of square? Round is the two-speed.

Do you have a column switch or dash-mounted?

 

[Andrew Mace]

In at least the US market, the two-speed, round wiper motor began with the 1969 model year.
