Hello all. I am now refitting the ancillaries to my restored 3.8
FHC. With the new wiring loom fitted the original short loom coming
from the DL3 wiper motor looks quite grubby and needs to be changed
prior to refitting the motor. Having washed the 5 braid covered
wires from the multi-plug to the motor with petrol using a small
stiff brush the colours on the braided cables are still unclear. I
will greatly appreciate if someone can tell me the correct coloured
cables to use in their respective soldered points within the DL3
motor.
I note 4 of the wires are attached/soldered near to their entry
point while the 5th longer wire ? green/yellow extendS round to the
further corner where it is fixed. The independent black earth wire
presents no problem.
Your responses will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Andrew, thanks for your response.
As I shall be sleeving the replacement 5 wires I am happy with that
even if a new loom is only a few pounds.
What I really want to know is: what is the colour sequence ( left
to right as one views with the wires nearest themself ) of the
replacement plastic coated wires ie green with yellow tracer etc as
in the main loom, which have their ends soldered in place and their
other ends going to the 5 way multi-plug with bullet connections.
The current original braided wires which I want to relace are
unidentifable in colour through age deteriation.
Cheers Eugene.–

Eugene,
I found a photo on the forum photo albums by searching for
wiper motor in the photos section. I have a diagram I
created when I rewired mine. I can email it to you.
The colors are:
Green to the thermal cutoff on the case
Blue/Green to the right side of the brushes and jumpers to
the other side of the thermal cutoff
Yellow/Green to the base of the magnet
Brown/Green to the pin on the left of the winding
Red/Green to the left of the brushes
White/Green to the pin on the right end of the winding–

Paul,
You should post this material regardless of the reply, for
the archives, so others can use it. If your documentation
can be made into images, then put them into your photo
albums.–

I have a wiper motor that has 3 leads, the wiring diagram says there should
be 4. There is one on ebay that looks just like mine. Can anybody tell me
how to hook it up to the car?

The wiper motor on the 1968 is unique to that year, because it has
three leads. There will be a double red/green wire with a duplex
female plug in the engine bay loom into which a single (I think
red, but not sure since my car is in winter storage) lead from the
motor goes. The other two leads are usually ganged. Again if memory
serves one is brown and the other red and these go into a five-way
female plug, only two wires of which are used. I do have a picture
of the switch. Looking at the switch from the front, a red wire
with green tracer goes to the lower left spade connector. The brown
wire with the green tracer to the lower right connector. There is a
black ground wire that goes to the upper left. All three of these
wires have smaller female connectors than the other switches, so
it’s not possible to mix them up.–

Hi Paul, thank you for your offer of assistance, much
appreciated. I now have my motor rebuilt and ready to bench
test which I will do once I am sure of the correct procedure
to avoid any damage. Hopefully the archives will come up
trumps when I do a search on it.
Thought I should reply to you first as I just viewed you
post.
Eugene.–

Park and switch diagram. Because the motor has no magnets, by reversing the field windings the motor runs backwards and the park switch stop the motor. The park which is located in the bulkhead behind the center instruments panel. Adjustable is done by turning a knurled knob on firewall (engine compartment). hope this helps.
Hello, sorry to jump in on this topic but i am having a problem with my 1962 Series 1 E type wiper motor.
Car is positive earth
The wiper motor is causing a Short circuit and blowing the fuse. I have disconnected wires to the motor and the wiper motor switch to try and isolate the short.
When i check each wire entering the motor to see if any are running to earth I find the Green wire and the blue wire are running to earth. Is this correct or are these wiring causing the short.
Is there a way of checking if the motor is working .
I can’t tell you if the following is directly applicable to your motor but it can’t hurt to have the link posted in this thread, for future reference.
