    The document provides instructions on properly wiring a Lucas wiper motor to avoid malfunctions or blown fuses. It explains that of the 6 ways to connect the 3 individual wires, 5 will cause malfunctions and 4 will blow fuses. The document describes what will happen if different combinations of wires are swapped, with all scenarios resulting in either no operation, immediate fuse blowing, or continuous operation regardless of switch position. Proper wiring of the motor is emphasized to avoid these issues.

    SPECIAL NOTES ON LUCAS WIPER MOTOR WIRING - ET-110

    To avoid malfunction and blown fuses the wiper motor must be properly connected. Given 6
    ways to connect 3 individual wires, 5 ways will malfunction and 4 ways will blow a fuse.

    The lower diagram here is a schematic of the wiper circuit showing the internals of the
    motor in simple form. The coil between the 1 and 2 terminals represents the internal
    windings of the parallel wound motor (the armature is in parallel with the field coil, so both
    will see the full 12 volt supply). The split ring between the 1 and E terminals represents the
    parking commutator that is inside the gear case and is mechanically driven by the motor.
    When the motor is in any position other than parked, there is an electrical contact made
    between 1 and E. When the motor is in the parked position that contact is broken. Pulling
    the dash switch to the on (closed) position makes the motor run continuously. Pushing the
    switch to the off (open) position allows the motor to run until the park commutator breaks
    the ground circuit to stop the motor.

    Results of swapping two wires:

    a.) With ground on 1 and switch on E, the motor will run continuously regardless of the
    condition of the switch.

    b.) With ground on 2 and power on E, it will not start if in the park position and with the
    switch off. Otherwise it will run to the park position with the switch off, and with the switch
    on it will blow the fuse in any position other than parked. In fact, if there is any alternate
    ground path to the body, such as through a wheel box, then it would blow the fuse
    immediately regardless of the condition of the switch or the position of the motor.

    c.) With power on 1 and switch on 2, it will stay parked as long as the switch is off. When the
    switch is turned on it will run just enough to make a contact in the park commutator, and
    then it will immediately blow the fuse.

    Results of mixing three wires:

    a.) With ground on 1, the switch on 2, and power on E, It would it would not run if in the
    parked position. In any position other than parked it would immediately blow the fuse. And
    if there is any alternate ground path to the body, such as through a wheel box, then it would
    blow the fuse immediately regardless of the condition of the switch or the position of the
    motor.

    b.) With ground on 2, the switch on E , and power on 1, it would start immediately and run
    continuously (if the switch was off). If the switch is on it would blow the fuse and as soon as
    it left the parked position. And if there is any alternate ground path to the body, such as
    through a wheel box, then it would blow the fuse immediately after leaving the park
    position, regardless of the condition of the switch.

    As none of the above are good alternatives to the proper connection, let's try to get it right
    the first time.
