sforster Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Can anyone help with the wiring of the wiper motor Type DR2. I have installed a new loom and most things seem to be OK, however the wiper motor is getting the better of me. There is the connection to earth as marked which runs via E of the control box, I then have 2 other connection terminals which I cannot figure out how they are switched, labelled 1 and 2? I have two wiring diragrams and both differ. The motor works until it reaches the isolator in the lid so I think it is the wiring which I have got wrong. Advice would be very much appreciated.

Nigel Lay Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 (edited) Simon, as I understand the DR2 motor, terminal 2 goes direct to a live feed (live when the ignition is switched on) earth to earth as you say, and terminal 1 to the wiper switch with the other end of the switch to earth NOT a live feed. So unlike a single speed wiper where you switch the feed the DR2 has a permanent live feed and the wiper switch 'switches' terminal 1 to earth. Looks like a bit of juggling with the wiring on the new loom. Hope this makes sense. If you can look at a 4 wiring diagram, this has the DR2 type motor. Best of luck Nigel (with wipers that park wherever you push the switch to the off position - TS952) As a follow on I suggest you get a couple of pieces of wire and 'jury rig' it just to check so there are no possible nasties going through your new loom!!!
