  1. You may find a boggo 2-way automotive connector plugs straight on.

    Yes I reused the connector that was fitted to the old pump, got it in. My next plan was to put some of those clear insulators on the spades and bend the pump connections over a bit.

    Still to try and cover mine with something beige before I fit it in again...did trial on the wiper functions and all was well except it wouldnt stop intermittenting in park position. .
     
  4. Did you split the 53 line into two: 53(S) and 53(M)? Can you hear the int relay ticking every so often?

    yeah I will go through it in daylight. All connections seemed ok ...the one thing is that my used 6 wire switch came with a broken paddle so I took it apart and put my good one in. Might has upset the connections a bit so will multimeter them tomorrow.

    Looks like I forgot to earth the brown/white 31 wire... its still just dangling from the switch.
     
  7. Those extra wires (and their colours) still sound odd to me.

    How are you switching the "I" input on the relay? Does your wiper stalk have four positions?

    Yeah I've triple checked that brown and brown/white combo. Brown is definitely going to S in the switch so I plugged it into same relay designation and branched off to power the pump. The upmovement wash/ 3 wipes were working ok like that.
    Brown/white is labelled 31 in switch so I'll spade that tomorrow and hopefully everything works ok. I've a second 6 wire switch thats wired up exactly the same.
    Both the switches had a little plastic wedge preventing the back position that you pull out...

    Also not using the relay with the 'I'...

    hopefully the unattached 31 is the problem…

    And still not confident on what to actually attach to ‘I’

  11. Again:
    - wiring T to the washer pump drive will start the wipers moving when you wash. It's possible the S on your other relay has the same function.
    - wiring I to a switched +12V will start intermittent operation. It'll stop when you remove the 12V. For correct operation, the 53 slow wipe line must be separated into two halves: 53M (to the motor) and 53S (from the switch).

    ..I had the exactly same issue when wired mine..so gave up..
     
  13. If wired correctly, it's easy-peasy ;) No reason why it shouldn't work.

    the switched +12v bit was confusing me when i saw a toggle switch or summat in your circuit...
     
  15. "I" needs to be supplied through a switch to +12V. Intermittent will run for as long as 12V is applied.

    Well damn, managed to drop the wiper motor bolt down the ducting hole while fannying about in the dark...
     
  17. This is not unknown ;). Belly pan off, heater hose off, and it'll drop out.

    Cool I have no belly pan…
     
  19. Even easier!

    I've just hunted down a 7 wire wash / wipe switch so might be doing more work on this next week !!
