How to Easily Wire a Wiper Motor CHEAP! 2-Speeds! Hotrods & Off Road |
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 чер 2024
- This video shows how to easily wire a wiper motor into anything! It has two speeds AND has a working park position. I used a universal windshield wiper switch, a 5-pin bosch-style automotive relay, and a 1987-95 Jeep Wrangler windshield wiper motor.
I used the Jeep Wrangler wiper motor for several reasons:
- It's a really cheap wiper motor
- It looks simple and clean under a hood
- It has wires coming out of it, so there is no need to find a matching pigtail.
- It came with the wiper transmission arm bracket
- I didn't need intermittent wipers or windshield sprayers.
The Jeep Wrangler YJ Wiper Motor Colors:
- Red - 12v Ignition
- Black - Ground
- Green - Low Speed
- Yellow - High Speed
- White - Park
5 Pin Relay Wiring for Jeep Wiper Motor:
- Pin 86 (white) and 87 (yellow) together attaches to L Terminal on switch
- Pin 30 (blue) attaches to white wire on wiper motor
- Pin 85 (black) goes to ground
- Pin 87A (red) attaches to green wire on the wiper motor
Universal Wiper Switch
- L Terminal (goes to pin 86 + 87 on relay)
- H Terminal (goes to yellow wire on motor)
- P Terminal (not used)
- B Terminal (12v Ignition)

Can you make a 3 speed wiper wiring diagram plss🙏🙏🙏
I really like your channel. Specifically I am interested at the moment on the wiper motor. My motor has 2 wire harnesses. I presume one is for the motor and the other is for speed. It is for a 94 F 250. I would appreciate any help. Thank you
Am kinda of Abit behind, why did you connect pin 86 and 87 of the relay to the same pin on the wiper switch?
Thank you, this explanation helped me a lot and the job was accomplished
I hope you can tell me how I can connect a timer to the scanners so that they work every ten seconds
Thanks. However, a clean and clear schematic of how it is wired would be a great addition.
Nice video! Thanks for the extra effort to build out you display board and clean annotations! Very illustrative and clear!
Sir thank you for sharing this information and your presentation is terrific. Great job
Thank you so much for posting this: I was able to follow your instructions and wired it correctly the first time!
That’s fantastic! I’m glad to hear it helped you out!
@@WiringRescue Thank you, this explanation helped me a lot and the job was accomplished

Thank you very much
it help me a lot, just installed on my project an 82 K10
love this video! liked and subscribed!
Thanks!!! Really Informative!!!
Another awesome tutorial!
Thank you! I’m glad people enjoy them!
Awesome videos, thank you for the information 🙏
You’re very welcome. Thanks for watching!
thanks for the vedio sir,, I've been looking for this wiper connection for a long time, finally I found it.,
That’s awesome! I’m glad you found it helpful!
Love this video, and I am going to watch all your wiring video's as I am wring a project car from the ground up and didn't realize how much I either didn't or forgot in 35 years of working on cars. That said, thank you! On a side note, could you do a video of how to wire rear defrost?
Thanks for watching! I currently don’t have the stuff to make a defrost video. I’ll keep it in mind though if I do come across the stuff in my travels.
Would be great to see this to include a 5-pin switch and washer control.
Otimo vídeo! O quadro com as peças montadas melhor ainda. Obrigado pela informação.
I have now watch like 10 videos and subscribed you make car wiring understandable
That is fantastic! Thank you for watching! I appreciate it! Tell your friends to watch too! ;)
Cheers for this video have sourced all the items and have started my build.Have a Christmas lights comp and making a lady mannequin with moving arm should be a good laugh 😂
That will be awesome! I want to see it when it’s done!
Hello Ratty
thanks for your excellent video. I am looking for a wiper for my 4 wheeled pedal car project..this is a big help.
Dan in Boston
I’m glad the video was able to help you out! Thanks for watching!
Can you make a video on two push on and off switches with two relays?
Great video, thank you
I’m glad you liked it! Thank you for watching!
Thank you needed this
Great video! How about one with a wiper delay switch?
Thanks my friend
Great. Thanks for the explanation. Always wondered how the wipers stopped at the same place.
I'm looking for some different advise.
I want to wire up some day time running lights, that must only work if the engine is running. Therefore not from a ignition wire. If I'm not mistaken, that could be achieved with the D+ terminal on the alternator. But on the modern cars, that terminal is no longer on the alternator.
Find a cable positive from your ignition then to a switch on your dash from the switch connect it to the coil of the relay other side of coil to a negative and one side of the points of the relay to a fused positive from battery and the other side to your lights and your lights to ground ,like that every time you turn on your ignition you will have your dayi lights on or off with the manual switch you just Installed
@@MrLeo92335 that I have already done, but I would like to have something that only work while the engine is running and not on a seperate switch. I mentioned daytime running lights, but would like to run a inverter as well. It happened a couple of times that I forgot the inverter on, and had a flat battery.
Thanks for video.
How would you wire it with On/Off/On switch???
I am doing some project and do not need ark position.
Thanks
Dude just in time i was looking for this
Awesome! I’m glad you can use it! Share it with some friends!
I have a question can i wire a relay from the ignition switch to power up a cooling fan and a fuel pump ?
@@reyquinonez4171 - sure if you do it all properly. I’d recommend you do separate relays for each major component.
I need some information on a 98 chevy column, what wire do you use for the ignition wire, when you are installing a relay. For what ever.
Hi, can you do a video for wiring an intermittent wiper. Thanks.
Any chance of adding intermittent control to the wipers?
Could you do one that’s the same switch with a washer pump circuit added into this.
I wish these switches had intermediate wiper control. That is so nice when its misty to barely raining. The switch looks exactly like the one in our Peterbilt dump truck that hasn't had working intermediate wipers for years. On that model soon as I turned the knob I had variable intermediate wipers up to a certain point then it would click into full time on low and then high.
Very true. This setup in the video is super basic. Maybe at some point I’ll do an intermittent wiper too. Hmmm
@@WiringRescue New Port NE14200 will do the trick
Can you show how to do this on a negative switched wiper motor? Like on a early 90s Civic wiper motor. I am stuck on a project and can’t figure it out. Thanks
I really enjoy this video. I'm getting ready to upgrade the wiper system on my 1976 Unimog. I would really like to follow your setup but need a little more information on the wiper motor. I can find no information on the dimensions of that wiper motor. LxWxH. Is there any way you could measure it for me? It looks small enough to fit in the space needed but a little more information would help me out greatly.
Can u do a dimmer or speed controller
What amperage fuse are you using and recommend?
Dear Sir, every time your video's are sublime to the perfection.
What I'm would like to do is to make the schreemwasscher starting for the second speed even faster and bring it in a faster mode not to put the motor in overdrive, but can't there anything by changing the linkage to make is faster.
Many thanks on beforehand to let me know about what can be done to have a quicker and better speed when you drive fast een the water is coming heavily
eres increible¡¡¡¡ thanks
Thank you so much! I appreciate it!
Would be nice to make a video explaining the charging system with the voltage regulator
That’s a solid idea. I’ll add it to my to-do list. Thanks for watching!
Hi
Your video is quite informative. I’ve had issue with wiper lever of Skoda Kodiaq.
4 wires are hanging beneath the steering.
2 yellow wires
1 red wire
1 red & black colour.
I’ve no idea where they will be going in the switch
Regards
Worked like a charm saved me 200.00, thank you..got a sub out of me..
Can we connect with Pulse width Modulation Switch without using Relay on Direct 12vdc Adapter
Thank you for taking your time to put this on youtube.. I have a RV and the wiper system is driving me nuts.. I have taken it to Ford , they replaced the controller and the Win-shield Wiper switch on the column, I replaced the motor prior to that. It wont park, it wont shut off. It was shutting off if I turned off the ignition , it would park when I turned it back on. Now even if I turn off the Ignition it comes back on can't shut them off.. So I am going to go back to old school and put in one of these wire switches. or maybe just put a shut off switch off the ground.. My connector has Low (L )High (H) Park (P) Switch (S) Ground (X).. Is the (S) is that the 12volts coming in if I put a toggle switch on that will the wipers turn off and I would have to self park with the switch.
Turn the wipers off before the ignition is a requirement for the park option to work.
How about wiring for a classic Volvo 2sp wiper motor with Park feature with 3 wires Green, Black, Red using a Bosch type relay? The Green is the main 12V IGN source, Red is Slow Black is Fast.
Can I use this step up on my original wiper switch
can you make for elektric windows
if you also connect AS5600 contactless angle sensor check
Hello my friend. Can you show how to connect wiper motor to get 3 speeds, I mean by that 2 different speeds and 1 speed with intervals between wiping windshield. Sorry for my English, I hope You understood me. Greetings from Poland.
Hi there. I am italian and i don't speak english so well. It seems in the video you say that 30 goes to low speed motor but in the description it seems you write that goes to park cable. I have some questions. When you turn the wiper switch to high speed the power goes only to high speed motor cable or will i find two power, one to low speed motor and another one to high speed? (keeping so the relé on). And when you goes with switch wiper to off position relé will be off so where from came the temporary power for turning motor until it will go to parking position? Thanks, best regards.
Can I use a 12v DC motor speed controller to adjust the speed of my wiper motor on my SxS to provide many different speeds?
I tried this with my Yj motor. My wires are different colours but pretty sure I have everything right. I keep blowing a fuse when I try it out.
thanks
You're welcome!
Question. The power source connects to what on the switch?
Would that work on an 84 Peterbilt I have three wiper blades on a straight glass windshield
I'm from Brazil. I saw your tutorial, but I didn't understand why a pin remained on the universal key without being connected. Why this? Thanks.
love the video! i was wondering how you would wire a wiper motor with park using a 3 position rocker switch in place of the wiper switch?
I’d love to help. Basically, your 3 position rocker switch has 3 pins. The middle one being the 12v power, and the other 2, which redirects the power to whichever side you move the switch to. So you will hook your ignition to the middle pin, Then the low speed to one side of the switch, and the high speed to other side of the switch. *Hope this helps! 👋*
You just need an on-off-on switch. One end, for low, one end for high, and off will be the middle.
what kind of font do you recommend? I tried it with a laptop from and it forces a lot
Amazing! But my Dodge Journey 2018 have two relays! My wipers parked anywhere randomly!!
Hell ya dude, thx i finally have working wipers on my 89 Dodge Ram, Brown=low, Red=hi, Blue=12V, Green=Park in case someone wants to know
Excellent! I’m glad that it helped you out! Thanks for watching and sharing the info!
Gonna re wire my 85 ram thanks I’ll see if it helps
I have the 9 pin wiper switch😭
I have a Datsun240z and the wiper motor switch speeds run to ground. And the positive will go to the ignition when the car gets turned on. What’s the best way to hook up a relay for this. There should be 3 speeds but the 3 rd. Black wire doesn’t seem to work As a motor speed function.
I hooked up both me neg and pos melted the rubber, I didn't use a relay, was that the problem, forgot to mention it worked, but melted the rubber coating on the two wires
Excuse me. So if you connect red of the wiper on the battery and black to negative motor will not start, right?
I have a 4-wire Vauxhall/Opel wiper motor and I can't get it to work using this circuit.
The motor only seems to park when the "park" and either "fast" or "slow" wires are connected together along with the black ground wire, and it shorts out continuously.
How can I get around this using the 5-pin relay and 4 wiper motor wires?
I want to do a 4 pin relay, switch to ground, but only want high speed with park. I dont care about low speed. The switch to ground is going to be on my steering wheel. Kind of getting confused.
so far this is my wire colors
Blue is fuse?
blue-red is high?
black-red - ground?
Blue to Blue/red will operate at the fast speed
connecting blue yellow and blue white is park
connecting blue to blue/white is slow wipe
just curious on how would i set this up for a switch to ground with only a park mode and high speed mode.
I’m going to see if this will work for my 56 Buick special maybe I can modify a bracket
It’s a simple, cheap option if you can make it work! I’ll be doing the same on my 64 Impala Wagon, but I’m a solid year away from that. First I need to replace all the floors! Good luck on your Buick!
Why do you use a relay? If I am interested in running at the "high" speed, can I just hardwire it? If so, how?
Please explain. So 5 wire wiper. 1 wire is the park. That becomes negative and stops motor but. Say like in my customers honda crv. It has a computer driving the wiper. What would it be doing to the park wire. Grounding it …?
Have a 72 Chevy C10 with the negative trigger dash switch. I got everything working except the wiper park after ignition off.
Did you ever get this to function for you truck? I have a 75 C10 I am needing a wiper setup for.
@@AFSBNSTLS0423 The wiper yes, the wiper park function no. I don't believe it actually has that function.
How many amps does this draw normally and under load?
Hey I wired a motor the exact same way you did in the video. I watched the video over and over to make sure I did it right.. I have all the same stuff as you minus the wiper motor it's a wpm5423. All I get is a click from the relay when I go to test it
I just looked that up and it appears to be a wiper motor from a civic. Unfortunately I’m not familiar with that wiring. I looked up a diagram real quick, and i think it’s going to be a bit different, though I think I would need it in front of me to figure it out. Here is a diagram I found that may help you out images.app.goo.gl/2SYetoaqfe1TMvNK9
Do you have this with a reverse wire.
Nice video. What size inline fuse did you use?
The fuse size is totally dependent on your scenario. I made a video all about it. Check this out ua-cam.com/video/EhzN6UdnmPA/v-deo.html
how can do this with a 1987 ramcharger wiper motor and a 8 pin wiper rocker switch
Sorry I meant to say Thanks Jeremy
Ratty Muscle Car, Can you check your wiring diagram ? It seems that Green wire and Blue White wire are mixed up. I know wiper motors have different colors and
arrangements. Thank You, Sunny
Can you add a intermittent to this?
Great content 👍, would this application be the same in a 93k1500 Chevy wiper went out.
Unfortunately, I don’t know. I would bet the wiring is different, but I’ve never wired a Chevy truck wiper motor, so I can’t say for sure.
@@WiringRescue would it be possible for a future video ? , I appreciate your response
Do you have a schematic by any chance?
I have 2 motors from a 99/2000 ish Hyundai accent from Australia.
No such prettiness with the wires.
Out of the front wiper motor there are 5 wires.
Black, blue, brown, green and a thinner brown with an orange stripe.
On the motor from the rear wiper, at it was a hatchback, there are black, orange, brown & blue with a red stripe.
Argh, any help as to which is which??
I'm definitely going to get some of those switches and I have a pile of relays already at well as a couple of fused wires.
It's actually for a Christmas Santa prop that I'm trying to animate with a 12v battery.
I can easy make up a circuit like this but how do I know which wires are which.
If I touch the black to black terminal and brown with orange stripe to red terminal on the battery I get sparks, but otherwise nothing happens to make the motor turn.
I have a working one off a Holden Berlina and it has the colours you mentioned at the motor but after the connector they are all different colours, but I can follow them through, it works without a relay or the switch so to stop I just put the red wire from the battery. Conveniently it has spade lugs on it.
However, not helpful in working out the Hyundai colour scheme.
I can send photos if that helps out upload a short to my channel.
Can you get power for this system using one of those fuse box "add a circuits" ?
Those “add a circuit” things are not the best idea. The factory fuse boxes are designed for a certain amount of amperage draw, so if you add an additional circuit, that extra amperage has to come through the existing wires. That could be too much and cause a whole variety of problems.
Thanks for the video but I found it hard to follow. A wiring diagram would help as would more details about how it all works. Which pins do what in the relay? How does the park wire always have it park? Lots of unanswered questions.
Can you recommend a fuse box that would be similar to my old one that’s not in good shape?
I’m not sure what type of vehicle you’re working on, but I can tell you that I really like the products made by Leash. leashelectronics.com/products
Thanks in advance if you can help me.
So here’s my drama…..
Wiper motor from a 96 Jeep Cherokee repurposed in another project. Ordered the universal switch but started playing with my 5 wires. Black is ground for sure. Continuity tested to body of motor. Colors of wires don’t match anything out there so I’ll call them a-b-c-d
A and ground are slow
B and ground are fast
Do I just try c and d alternately in the role of park? Would love to have an actual self park feature if possible. Otherwise I’ll just go with a on off on toggle and feel like a caveman.
I have a question? I have a the wiper from Honda it has a blue white a solid blue green black a blue yellow and a black the green black is low the blue yellow is high the solid blue is power the blue and white is Park the black supposed to be grown but when I hook up the ground to the to the battery it does not turn the motor
Great video. I make Halloween props and use wiper motors to animate them but always have a problem returning the prop to the same starting position. If it runs an eight of a turn too far or not enough it throws the whole prop out of sync after a few cycles. I've been looking for a way to use the park feature on the motors but haven't been able to find information on how to do that...until now!! Thanks. My problem is with the universal wiper switch. I use a speed controller that allows me to vary the speed of the prop instead of just the 2 speeds. My question is How do I wire the speed controller instead of the Universal wiper switch? I want to be able to access the faster speed and use the park feature. Any help in this will be GREATLY APPRECIATED. Thanks
Unfortunately I don’t have any experience using speed controllers so I’m not of much help in that area. :(
Please try to make a electrical schematic for the circuits and when explained along with it will be much easier to understand
So the hot on the motor just goes to the hot off the key of the car
I need a 1966 c chevelle motor how to connect
If your only power wire is +12 volt ignition your motor will stop when the key is turned off. The motor power should me constant +12 volts and your switch power should be +12 volts ignition. So the wiper motor can continue on to the park position. Or am I missing something?
This isn't working for a Chevy motor that uses 4 of the 5 pins to operate. I'm with you that everything is dead and doesn't park when the switch is cycled off. I think you need a way to keep the relay energized until "park".
71 fj40 5 wire switch
With the switch having a black, green and black, red and yellow , red and black and a green and white wire
So im wondering, how would i connect a 3 wire motor? Motor has power, hi and low and switch needs ground instead of power to function! P.S. Its an old soviet wiper motor!
Can you do a electric window system please? thx.
Yes! Stay tuned! It’s coming!
Hello, i have citroen 4 wire motor, red, green brown and white. How to connect with park?
Unfortunately I am not familiar with your wiper motor, so I’m not much help. Sorry!
You can't find that switch at every parts store. Struck out at both Oreilly, and Autozone. I found one at NAPA, but had to order it. Not in stock. And if you order one at NAPA, go online and order it yourself, ship it to your home. It costs more for shipping if they order it. $17 as opposed to $10 to get it yourself.
Thats pretty strange! I actually saw it in two different local stores I visited. I wonder if I got lucky, or if they are more common in certain areas of the country. Regardless, I'm glad you were able to find it! Thanks for watching!
@@WiringRescue Thanks for putting up the video. It helped a lot. I went from a three speed motor that didn't work, and are ridiculously expensive, $450 was the cheap one, to a two speed motor. Then added an aftermarket wiper delay. I had to run all new wiring to get it all working and your video answered all my questions.
SOOOO Confused!!
Why do the white/yellow go together? Why does the high yellow go direct to the motor and not through the relay??
Love the videos! Lots to learn...
I’m not using the relay for normal relay style purposes in this video. I’m simply using the relay as an additional switch to make this specific motor function as expected with this specific universal wiper motor switch. You’re welcome to wire it any way you like, this is just one option of making the motor work with high, low, and park.
@@WiringRescue Thank you for the quick reply! I had responded last week, but it didn't seem to go through.. What is the purpose of the white wire 86/85 circuit through the relay? Is that just a constant state to ground? I will be wiring a 2 spd Lucas motor w/ park which many have trouble getting the park to work, so I am hoping to understand the trick. Thanks again!!
@@theincredibleediblekrausewich - hello again! To be totally honest, I forget, because it has been a while since I built this circuit, but if you are using a different motor, you’ll surely need to wire it differently to make it park properly. Unfortunately these wiper motor internal circuit boards seem to vary wildly in the way they work based on the research I did learning about this one. I found diagrams for tons of different wiper motors and it’s amazing how different they can be, between manufacturers.
If I were in your scenario, I’d find the factory diagram for your motor and dissect how it was originally wired. Then figure out how to mimic those signals with whatever switch/controller you’ll be using. If all else fails, grab yourself a $25 Jeep motor like this one and copy it! I’ll be using this exact setup in my Chevy Impala. Luckily the Jeep parts will never realize they are in a Chevy. Good luck with your project!
The animated prop was exactly what I was looking to create. I’m making a horror movie for my UA-cam channel and I wanted to create a kicking leg prop. And I saw many are made with these motors. Would this motor be able to handle the task of animating swinging legs?
I actually don’t know. I would think it would depend on the fulcrum/lever ratio. I’m not sure how to determine which motor would be best for that sort of thing.
What size fuse should I use for this setup?
It all depends on your components. I actually made a video all about how to choose the right size fuse ua-cam.com/video/EhzN6UdnmPA/v-deo.html
👍👍
I have a car that has wires under the steering wheel that were cut, apparently someone tried to steal the car and, now, the front windshield wipers aren't working any more. I dont know to switch the motor or anything else.
That's rough. I'd recommend reconnecting any wires that are obviously damaged and see how far that gets you. You may need to find a wiring diagram to sort out any unknowns. It's probably not going to be fun. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news! :(
Why use a relay for the low speed but hardwire through the switch skipping the relay for the high speed? Why use a relay at all then? What am I missing?
I’m not using the relay for normal relay style purposes in this video. I’m simply using the relay as an additional switch to make this specific motor function as expected with this specific universal wiper motor switch. You’re welcome to wire it any way you like, this is just one option of making the motor work with high, low, and park.
how about a wiper motor with only four wires?
Jeremy, I want to use a wiper motor to rotate an assembly in forward and reverse. Is there a way to use this jeep wiper motor to do this?
You may be better off with a window motor, which happens to be the next video I’m working on! So stay tuned!
@Ratty Muscle Car I watch most of your vids. Do the window motors have much torque? I'm going to make a directional cb antenna rotator, and wind loads could be an issue.
@@muddyudders - I think they do have decent torque! You could also do something like a worm drive on one to increase the torque.
