Rear wiper

(1/2) > >>

maddog:
The rear hatch that I got from the junkyard yesterday has a wiper motor on it and I have been trying to figure out how to test it to see if it works. Does anyone know how to test one these things because I've tried hooking it up to a battery but I'm not sure if I did it wrong or not because there are three wires. I know the one that is screwed to the hatch itself is the ground but I'm not sure which one is the hot and which one is the negative, their colors are brown and yellow (by the way somebody cut them so not sure how they would hook into the car or how they are routed through the hatch). Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you rmick that somewhat clears things up for me, but it unfortunately doesn't show how it's ran through the hatch and into the car. It does however show me how to test the motor. So once again thank you.

rmick:
Your welcome. On my SX/4 the wire harness comes out at the top of the hatch and then into the headliner area.

maddog:
The only holes at the top of mine are where the hatch hinges bolt on is that where yours comes out or is there another hole that I'm just not seeing.
