I’m having difficulty with my wiper motor. Doing general checks after I completed the wire harness for the new FI motor, I noted I had power to the Red and White wires with the key on. That jived with the wiring diagram, wiper on low speed. So when I connected the existing motor to the updated harness, I got nothing, no wiper movement. I Re verified I had 12v at both of those wires, but no movement. So I unfastened the wiper arm mechanism at the motor’s crank. Still nothing, so I ordered a refurb Cardone 40-265 from Amazon and thought all was well.
I replaced the connector on the motor with one from WCCC. The motor had 4 wires, same color as the original, although slightly different. Put it all together and got nothing. No motor sounds, zip. Reverified I have the power to those two wires, but nothing.
I‘ve tried to verify continuity inside the motor but want to verify with the community where I should get that. Based on the 73 Wiring Diagram, segment shown below, I should get continuity between the White and ground? I’ve got no continuity between the Red and ground AND I’ve got none between the BK-P and ground. At least that should be showing continuity. It’s like I’ve got no ground. Now, I did verify the ground strap at the back of the motor was there.
It was work to install and before I pull it all off again, what else can I do?
