Green (12V) goes from back of V stabilizer (B terminal) to wiper motor,
Black/Green goes from wiper motor to wiper switch. This completes the circuit to earth, Note there is no live wiring to the wiper switch.
I don't think it matters which way these 2 wires go onto the motor terminals.

There is also an earth wire from the wiper body to the bulkhead.

Won't it go backwards if the wrong way round? :roll: :P

Live wire to the wiper - no live wire to switch

Only hooked the wires up about a month ago - can't remember which but I think it was self evident - isn't one male and one female? or one insulated and one not?

The motor runs, regardless of which terminal you put each wire on (I just tested one).
Unless you have auto park (these don't) it won't matter.
If you do have a square motor with auto park there will be an arrow on the cover- take the cover off and check the rotation direction.

Your diagram is no doubt right, but mine (Oz #64 one) doesn't show the numbers... so IMO it doesn't matter. 8) 8)
