Removed the wiper motor, i think it is from fiat 126 since number 126 was written with a marker on it. My wipers have only one speed but i believe that this is a two speed motor. Anyway while i was cleaning it i noticed that there is a loose red wire that comes from the motor. Not sure if it was loose before i disassembled the motor to clean it and lube it. Anyone has a spare motor to check where this one is going? My plug has four wires, two blue and two white. Any ideas where i can apply power to check it on the bench before i put it back in the car?

I may be wrong, but I think you will find one wire is earth,one wire is live with wipers on and one is permanently live if ignition on to allow the self parking to operate. Your light green appears to be to do with the self parking side.
You could always test using a fused wire, around 8 amps should be plenty.
Sorry no more help.:)
 
Yes one is permanent12V one is operation, one is short circuit? And the 4th pin turns on the other direction. I guess only ground and the two pins permanent 12v and 12 are applicable here. Operates ok so when the car is ready from the paint shop I will put it back. Thanks anyway.

I think most wiper motors are at a full speed , but are reduced by the resister in the switch multi position circuit.

This one seems to have two different windings in the coil so it reduces speed, this is where the red wire goes, in my case it's in the air.
