Wiper motor problems
Thought I had my electrics under control now, but the wiper motor wont turn off.

before I started the conversion from 300tdi to TD5 I had problems with the motor not parking properly and intermittent not working properly, so replaced the parking switch and all was ok, except the fast speed stopped working. ok, I could liuve with that as everything else was working properly now.

Fast forward to installing the TD5 and dash loom, now the wiper motor won't turn off except if I put it in fast speed position Confused

Wiring looks the same as the 300tdi, haynes talks about an earth on the body of the motor to the top mounting bolt, but haven't got one of those. Temporarily put on an earth to the bolt and touched it to the body of the motor, but did not make any difference. The wires to the parking switch has a black earth wire anyway.

What could be the problem here?

Still not figured this out yet
Had another look today at the switch wiring, where I joined all the wires together colour to colour, as the 300tdi Plug was different to the TD5 plug. Realised that there were two white/green wires, so swapped them around and then ended up with nothing in slow and fast speed, and would not turn off in stop and intermittent, so no better off!

Finally figured it out. Checked all the earths and wiring volts and all was ok.

Realised today that the squirty didn't work either, so checked the wiring for that. Couldn't get a continuity for the earth so changed that, then couldn't get 12.5v on the black/green wire. Then noticed on the TD5 loom there are 2 black/green wires, so tried the other one and hey presto squirty worked, and also wipers as well!

Why goes TD5 look have so many earth wires that do different things, not to mention wires of the same colour doing different things as well!
