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

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. |

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. |

the numbers is just what it said on my wiring diagram. But if the Dr says it doesn't matter, he's probably right.. He usually is
