Wiper Plug
1983 XJS. Trying to diagnose my wipers and want to test the motor. To which one of these holes in the plug should I send 12V to test? Second picture below: is one of these the wiper delay relay? Thanks

The wiper relay is below the dash, inside the car.

Passenger side behind glove box is what I understand, I believe it is blue in colour.
I haven't yet worked out the pins fully but several of them are +12V - at least 3 of them my guess would be the large pins - these are Park (Red), Fast (Yellow), Run (Green) and Normal (Blue), the ground is white, I'm not entirely sure what the 'run' pin is for. There are two pins that I don't think do anything. |

Thanks! The schematic describes having the ignition switched “on” - is this saying the engine must be running for the wipers to work?

Interesting update
Much to my pleasure, I was surprised to see that my 83 has an Electrolux assembly.
Even better: I was able to make it turn by routing 12v directly into the plug (albeit after manually moving the arms a bit, which may have loosened things up). Here’s my question: based on this video I took of the motor turning in slow mode, is it worth me cracking this open to regrease? Thanks |
Testing relay continuity
See other video below. My understanding is that there should be no continuity between plugs 1 & 4 unless power is routed to plug 3 (2 being ground).
My multimeter beeps like there’s continuity between 1 & 4, it starts reading at about 0.5 ohms but quickly drops to 0.0. Is this proper behavior or a bad relay? If the relay is good that only leaves the wiper stalk. https://youtube.com/shorts/d0UJvScksNE?feature=share |
Sorry for a third post, but for easy reference I’m basing my relay test on this:
