Testing wiper motor
steve8274 - 25/2/13 at 05:50 PM

Hi all
I purchased a second hand mini wiper motor last year and am only just getting round to fitting. Before I fitted it, thought it maybe wise to check it works.
Is there any way I can do this before I wire it into loom?
Electrics aren't my favourite so didn't want to wire it up then it not work. Wouldn't know if my wiring or motor. This way, at least I know the motor works before I started wiring!
Thanks
Steve

Thanks. Had seen something like that but I was hoping there was a way I could just connect to battery before connecting to switch

you can

1 neg and 5 pos should give slow
1 neg and 3 should give fast


mutlimeter across 2 and 4 on ohms range should give pulses as it turns

Great. Thanks. Said I wasn't very good at electrics.
