TR2/3/3A WIPER MOTOR WIRING TR3A

I have four wires coming out of my harness, two blacks 1 green and 1 black & green. For the wiper motor I see where the green and the black and green go. The ground wire is also OK. So what do I do with the the all black wire?
In my BCF notes I had some info dealing with the issue but no real suggestion as to what I do with the all black wire. It has a spade terminal on it.

Your thoughts and comments, as always, Greatly appreciated.

Dick, on my wiper motor, the greens go on top, the blk/green is on the bottom, and the black spaded wire goes on the screw terminal towards the frontmost of the wiper motor, the radiator side. HTH!

............My harness is original but there is only the one green and the green w/black wires; no double green and no black wire. There is a place marked "E" for earth and the case does show grounded on a meter but no wire. Although the harness is original the motor is not. When I acquired the motor some 20 odd years ago, there was a double male spade where the green wire is now attached, suggesting that there was to be 2 green wires?? At any rate mine works fine!!

On my 59 (TS47905) in addition to the 3 connections on the motor there is also a ground connection under the forward mounting screw for the motor bracket. You can see it to the right of the bracket in this pic:
