Wiper Motor Problems - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Any electrical mechanics out there? I have a 72 C10 pickup. My son just installed a replacement wiper motor from LMC Truck. I'm not sure the connections are correct. In speaking with him, the replacement motor connections are different than the original equipment.
The old motor had 6 terminals. This new motor has four terminals, but I only have three wires. A black, blue, and yellow. Does anyone know how to connect these three wires to the new 4 terminal motor?

I would say you got the wrong motor. There are 2 different wiper motors, one with three terminals and one with four. I'm not sure how to tell you to connect everything, but you could try hooking them up, and if it dosen't work get a different motor (you can proably get one much cheaper from an autoparts store than from LMC...and no shipping too)

Welcome to the board from South Mississippi!
As far as LMC just about everybody has a copy of their catalogue because of the cool exploded drawings, but we generally buy locally or from the vendors on this board (cheaper and/or better service.)
