Maestro front wiper motor

[Jeff Turbo]

Hi Jeff ordered a new relay and stalk from xjrover fitted them both this morning wipers now work perfectly don't know if it was the stalk or relay maybe both.

Result, excellent and just in time for all the rain that's falling now

Then you might have a wiring issue or the stalk has a problem if you've tried changing the relay and it only worked once

[Duke92]

No I have changed the wiper control relay again 3 relays. worked once on intermittent then relay started clicking and then nothing wiper still working on high speed and normal speed

[Jeff Turbo]

There were five wires on the new motor there was a black wire seperated from the connector block so joined it using a connector block

I'm guessing all worked previously? Did you do anything to the switch wiring when it stopped working the first time?

No I cut the black earth wire on the new motor and connected it to the black wire on the old motor with the rest of the wires so the new motor now has five wires.

[Jeff Turbo]

There are five connections on the old motor and four on the new, would it be something to do with that ?

[Duke92]

It works on normal speed and high speed but when pull the stalk down to intermittent nothing

[Jeff Turbo]

Fitted the wipers motor today works but no wiper when using speed selector switch

Wasn't that your issue before ? Does it work on one speed now but not high speed from the stalk?

Fitted the wipers motor today works but no wiper when using speed selector switch

Thanks I swapt the connectors around using block connectors I will fit tommorow if it isn't raining I will let you know how I get on

I had a similar problem with a Montego one & did what Jeff has suggested, the wires should have the same colour code, I just cut the wires and soldered the long original wire onto the new wire, taped the wires then sealed the joint with tiger seal. Worth checking that the ball on the drive crank is the same size too, there were two different sizes iirc, but the shafts that the crank fits onto are all the same, so easy enough to swap over. You could use crimp or block connectors if you don't have a soldering iron, if you do this make sure to do a good job of sealing it up....

[Jeff Turbo]

Can you splice into the existing wires and swop the plugs over ?

[Duke92]

Hi removed the old motor when to fit the new motor GNU7759 it has a different connector and the power lead is to short photos shown the part number on my old motor is AC.D LTD part number 22065825 12v 25A6
