Hi all, trying to use a WPM1254 wiper motor but cannot figure out the wiring. This fits a nissan quest ('93-'02) or mercury villager.
Motor has five wires: black, red, black w/stripe, brown, blue.
Both blacks and the red go into what looks like a start capacitor with a single black coming out and going into the motor. Blue and brown also go into the motor.
None of the wires flow to the case, and all mounting screws are shielded with rubber grommets.
Four of the five wires have high continuity.
Anyone have some clues on how to get this running fast and slow? Direction doesn’t matter, but bonus points for the park feature.
My first guess is that this a standard wiper motor (not a new one with electronics inside). I am not sure if it is a B-type or L-type, but my assumption is that is B-type.
Red, blue, brown, black w/stripe all show little resistance to each other. Black shows no connection to any others. I can’t tell how that would fit the above diagram.
One or all of black, red, black/stripe must be a park line because i can see they connect to a switch plate on the gear. (Haven’t figured out which that is yet.)
Black to ground and red to +12v pops the circuit breaker.
Red to 12v and any wire other to ground does nothing.
I did note that black to ground and blue to 12v moved to park position.
Brown=gnd and blue=12v moved in jerky motion. Looks like it kept tripping the power supply, but at 10a that shouldn’t be. I’ll find another power source to try.
It’s actually for some Halloween props. A grave digger with moving shovel torso and head and for wobbling zombies. The grave digger will need to utilize the park feature so I’ll have to figure that out.
This forum had better info than several of the Halloween forums lol.
I picked up 6 of these brand new motors for about $17/ea with free shipping, so gotta put them to work.
