At a guess are the middle 2 the +ve and -ve for illumination and the outer 2 the +ve and -ve for the switch

not sure if thats right as its a 2 speed wiper switch


mongrelwestie - 26/10/08 at 08:05 PM

the one on westfield world looks different

Earth connection at the side for internal light

pin 9 on the westsfielt one is often connected interanally to the internal light so may be missing on your type of switch

that leaves the other 4 pins.

ps Sorry about the typing but already on the beer.

Have a play with a 9v battery and bulb or voltmeter to check which is witch.


mongrelwestie - 26/10/08 at 08:13 PM

unless nine is on the other side to the earth? maybe?


Paul (Notts) - 26/10/08 at 08:21 PM

did not spot the tab on each side..sounds right to me


grusks2 - 26/10/08 at 08:38 PM

The 2 small tabs either side of the switch are for the illumination, the others are 12v feed, speed1, speed2 and park ( the park becomes live/links to the 12v feed terminal when the switch is turned off)

if you can use a multi meter its easy to work out


mongrelwestie - 26/10/08 at 08:39 PM

so how do i link them together for the park or does the switch do that?


Paul TigerB6 - 26/10/08 at 09:20 PM

Finally Grusks answered without guessing which doesnt really help. As said, the terminals are live, speed 1, speed 2 and park. Your loom should will generally have 5 wires going to the wiper motor - the 4 above plus an earth.

Built too many aeroscreened cars to remember the colour codes now but light green is generally the live feed to the switch / wiper motor.

no i have all the wires sorted out, i have 4 wires for the switch and the 5 for the motor its just knowing were the 4 go to, i have them all labeled but need to know what points to connect them to


grusks2 - 27/10/08 at 08:43 PM

using a multi meter

put the switch to the off position - (2 of the terminals should be connected)

put the switch on speed 1 ( one of the terminals from the above test and a spare terminal should now be connected )

put the switch on speed 2 ( the same terminal from first test should be connected to the last spare terminal )


hope this makes sence.

if a remember right
pin 1 is live
pin 2 is speed 1
pin 3 is missing
pin 4 is speed 2
pin 5 is park wire
