|
hi guys,
i just bought myself a 1968 mini 2 speed wiper motor to put into my minor 1000. can anyone tell me or if you have a wiring diagram for a mini what the 5 pins are for. from the 5pin socket to the motor there are 3 wires red yellow and blue, does any one know what these wires do?
also is it true that i just need to take out the whole gear (cog) and swap it with the minor wiper gear.
regards
Michael

I have the mini book about 15 wirng diagrames minis mokes etc
and none of the wiring diagrams have the same colours as you have mentioned and
(only 3 for later the early ones were two wires so one speed )
mine is the british mini leyland factory mannual and have been told the australian repair mauals and wiring colours are differnt
all direct wired from battery to fuse box ignition and switch with an earth
thats all I can tell you

| The Marina wiper motor has different colour wiring to it too. 2 out of 3 are the same but I wouldn't like to guarantee that the 2 the same correspond to the Mini.

On the bottom of the large gear there is a copper strip that runs part way round, a small contact runs (slides) along that copper strip, after you turn the wipers off it still gets power through the contact untill in runs off the end (parked).
Once you have melted the fragile contact off it would be pretty hard to repair, it just means you have to park the wipers manuely.
Ill pull a motor out later & work out the wireing for you.
origanally the wiper motor would have had a constant power surply, & was switched on by giving it an earth, thats why the motors are rubber mounted.
I just solidly mounted my 2 speed wiper under the dash & ran 2 power wires for the 2 speeds.

hi John,
i will let everyone know on the whole procedure of putting a 2 speed wiper motor in, but first i need to do a couple of mods to the body of the wiper motor to mount and fit all the correct gear.
if any one has any suggestions throw them my way
regards
Michael
