Hey, so the links and downloaded pics are on my other computer so I can't get to them, and I've been searching for friggin' ever it seems, so....
Can anyone post or get me a link to the images for wiper wiring and bulkhead wiring diagrams for a '73 K10?
This is the prob:
My wiper haven't worked since I bought the truck, all the wiring goes nowhere and I can't seem to jump anything to work. The upper part (with the 3 fittings for hoses/squirters) has 2 terminals, a yellow/blk and a blue. The lower part (motor?) has 3 terminals, white/blue, yellow and a blue/blk. The yellow and yellow/blk are jumped together down the wire.
Any help would be appreciated, really.
 
The two yellow wires that hook together are the power feed from the fuse box. The dark blue wire at the pump area goes to the dark blue wire at the switch. It is for the washer portion of the switch. The white wire ends up as the black/white wire at the switch and the blue/black wire ends up as the light blue wire at the switch. The switch also has a solid black wire that is the body ground. The motor gets ignition power and the switch closes the various grounds of the different functions to make it all work. I just figured out all this crap on my '77 today.

Awesome. Could you tell me what gets power at the various speeds? I'm not going to be using a stock wiper switch, but a variable speed wiper switch box mounted elsewhere. I doubt I'll be needing the pump anytime too soon, or atleast I'll live without that for now...but the wiper motors gotta get goin'. Almost sounds/looks like Y = +12VDC, Wt/Blk = Ground for Slow, Blu/Blk = Ground for Fast (or vice versa).
 
Got that one, but it's not very conclusive on what does what, just big boxes for what accessory the wires go to.

The bulkhead diagrams not in there anywhere, is it? I couldn't find it. I had a really nice one too...nice picture with numbered sockets and a list of where each wire went. Love to find that one again.

I tried jumping +12v to the center terminal on the wiper motor (yellow wire) and ground one terminal at a time on the adjacent terminals and got nothing. Any ideas other than replace the motor?

Thanks

The only thing that gets ignition power is the yellow wire that goes to the motor and the pump, everything else is grounds. Both speed terminals get grounded for low and just the high gets grounded for high. It's sounds like your motor is bad.

Crappy.:doah:
 
Hate to bring up an old thread, but....Summer was coming so I wasn't too concerned with having wipers. Turns out it still rains during the Summer, crazy?! I picked up a replacement from the pick-n-pull, but it was dead. Got another one from, I think, an '87. Thing is, I put +12 to the middle pole and ground to the left pole (looking at it, this pole is on the pass. side) and it turned on. Put +12 to the right pole and it turned on. Do I have it right? I just don't want to hook it up permanently and fry it. Not to mention, I'm probably gonna be using an on/off/on switch.
 
Try this diagram I did for my custom wiring job, if it helps you, it shows the operation of each pin on the motor...

Almost exactly what I need. The only other thing would be the function of each wire out of the wiper module (bottom left corner of diagram). I've read somewhere that the 2-pin (Yellow and Green) is the PARK function (kinda explains the Green wires). Anyone that could check continuity to each pole would be friggin' AWESOME! I just don't want to burn up another motor, I'm running out of places to find them.
