Scott, thanks. The thing that's throwing me off, is that my wiper motor has a 4 wire bundle leaving the motor, and all these super beetle diagrams have 5... I'm confused.
Just looked at my box of wiper parts. The motor I have has 4 blades on the top in a row. If you hold the unit with the blades pointing toward you, from left to right the blades are wired as #1 black with purple trace, #2 tan # 3 black #4 black with white trace. Slightly to left and below the 4 blades is another blade this is for the brown ground wire. I am not sure what year this unit is from, but maybe this will help.
Cip-1 has that motor new for the super I did have to change the plug in for the harness on the motor. Be sure you order the right one it did not match mine on my 72 super It does work very nice now don't forget to grease your wiper arm shafts It helps too. the super has a ground wire You can add the brown ground by putting a ring thermal on the wire and put it on the motor plate and tie the other into the brown wire from the wiper switch. What ever you do Id upgrade the motor the super has a stronger one
Thanks!! My motor works fine. I'm just trying to figure out how to wire it to the relay. I can't recall if it was a 1 speed or two before I yanked the firemaker harness out. I just need to know how to wire it to the VS harness and the relay. The VS harness is really not plug n play, and I didn't expect it to be. Thanks for your help all...
