Wiper Motor ?
I'm relocating the switches for my wiper motor, and headlights. I have the headlight part figured out. My question is... Regarding the two speeds on the motor itself... Are the low/high speeds built in to the motor (different taps on the windings), or does the switch control the voltage, thus the speed (like a rheostat)?
Thanks for any info you can provide. I'm at work, and trying to get a parts order in today. So I can't very well run this info down on the motor, or switch, right now. Except for asking here, of course. Thanks again, Jay

It's a catastrophic success.

Re: Wiper Motor ?
iirc, The wiper switch provides the ground in the circuit(why the motor is mounted on rubber boots) for each of the internal winding(L-H) plus the squirter.

Re: Wiper Motor ?
I should be able to find out which wire is which with an ohm meter and some trial and error. My main question was applicable to what type of switch I need to buy.
But I'm glad you posted that info, it's definitely good to know before I get out there and spend a few hours scratching my head. Thanks for the heads up. Jay
