First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... Here's what I got out of checking mine real quick.
The case should be grounded. The rubber mounts are there to give it a little flex while in use, not to electrically isolate it. The little copper strap going over to the screw gives it back the ground it loses by being mounted on rubber. The terminal farthest to the driver's side should get 12 volts with the ignition switch on. The middle terminal should be grounded for high speed. Both the middle terminal and farthest to the passenger side should be grounded for low speed. --- On Tue, 1/19/10, Jim <[email protected]> wrote: From: Jim <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [FGF] Wiper woes To: "First Generation Firebird-L" <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, January 19, 2010, 7:34 PM First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... Trying again.. Are you sure the motor is spinning in the right direction? One thing that seems like a possiblity is that you have the pos and neg wires connected backwards to the motor. It would work ok when it's not grounded but would turn backwards. When you ground it, it would short out. ________________________________ From: Bobby Speake <[email protected]> To: First Generation Firebird-L <[email protected]> Sent: Tue, January 19, 2010 5:22:59 PM Subject: RE: [FGF] Wiper woes First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... Hey folks. I still haven't solved my wiper problems. I admit I didn't do much over the holidays, but I am back on task now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Submissions to Firebird-L: <[email protected]> Unsubscribe from Firebird-L: <[email protected]> Help: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/firebird/Firebird-L.html> Classifieds: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/ubb/> Owner Pictures: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/show/> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Submissions to Firebird-L: <[email protected]> Unsubscribe from Firebird-L: <[email protected]> Help: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/firebird/Firebird-L.html> Classifieds: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/ubb/> Owner Pictures: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/show/>
