Hi all,
Just recently replaced the wiper contact ring and contact assembly, and at the same time opened up the wiper switch and cleaned the contacts. Its probably a lesson in taking photos of everything but thought I would post to help others.

I disconnected the wiring 10+ years ago but worked out it should go back like the photo below

The other thing to ensure is that the number contacts on the back of the wiper switch need to be ascending from the bottom up, i initially put it back together with no1 at the top and 5 at the bottom, however it needs to be the other way - this ensures the self park (no1) is in contact with earth (no2) in the off position....and so on.

Hope this helps

I like this diagram, which worked out just right for me.

Thats an earlier version where I left the Green/Yellow in at terminal C. It was listed as that in the wiring diagrams but in the real world that colour is Red/Light Green.

Here is the latest one

The colours can also be confusing as they change at the fingers/motor.

On the topic of 2 speed Wiper meters I've got 2 later motors . To fit them to a 66 Rh park is it a matter of changing the Wiper rack tubing to suit?

Do I need to change to a RH park drive cable?

Looking at the mounting it appears I can use two of the mounting holes and then drill one mounting hole.for the out bound one? And wire up using the above.
