Sierra column wiper connections

Hi Guys,

This is doing my head in.....

I have purchased a windscreen wiper kit from CBS and I am trying to wire it and all is good, except it won't park. The destructions state:

Mini and Ford wiper switch feeds +ve to Red/Green when switched on but links Red/Green to Brown/Green when switched off to power self parking.

The pin-outs are (with normal colours):

1. Earth (Black)
2. Self park (Brn/Grn) (When switch is off this connects to terminal 5 (Red/Grn))
3. Wiper fast (Red/Brn)
4. Fused ignition +ve (Green)
5. Wiper slow (Brn/Grn)

It is terminal 2 I am struggling with.

I seem to rememeber on the wiper stalk there was a link cable between one of the spade on top and somewhere else and I guess that is the bit I am missing, but I have run out of fuses now and am getting rather frustrated...

Can anyone help? Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

Mark

Try this

It's what I did. Couldn't fathom it myself, so just followed the 'connect A to B' from the above guide...

Are these the switch connections?

1. Earth (Black)
2. Self park (Brn/Grn) (When switch is off this connects to terminal 5 (Red/Grn))
3. Wiper fast (Red/Brn)
4. Fused ignition +ve (Green)
5. Wiper slow (Brn/Grn)
.
If so Then
1 is obviosly earth,
4 is power in
3 and 5 go to the motors fast and slow connectors
2 goes to the motor self park connector, BUT, unless the switch is linked internally then this may need the link wire yo describe between 2 and 4

Actually, I've just found the actual diagram I used and posted it in my Photo Archive. Dunno how to pate the image directly here...

Assuming it's the same sort of wiper motor...

Fantastic!!!!

Finally got it, thanking you very much indeed!

(turns out I had wired the switch wrong about 3 years ago whilst building which as it hasn't been used until this weekend hasn't been an issue!)
