I know, thanks.


So if I understand correctly, what you've got is :



(ignore the wiring colours)

If so, then what you want is :

hang fire on the wiper motor re-wiring. Potentially interesting new development today on this thread :

Hi jon.
need your magic touch again it has a ford capri mk1 heater and there is 3 wires in the top 1 is power others must be speed1 and speed2. Have you any idea were i connect them on a switch (how does it earth) im so close now fan fuc-ing tastic lee.

There will be a +12V supply to the switch. Two wires will then go to the heater box resistor for speeds 1 or 2, and there will be an earth from the heater box, probably either brown or black. Watch the wire sizes for this - the heater motor will probably draw around 20 amps at its fastest speed. Similarly, if you're using an aftermarket switch, make sure the one you've got is suitably rated - 25A will be fine.

Right I've had a play in the garage with a mark 1 sierra rear wiper relay. This is a big orange one with "68 125 Relais Zus. Interm. W/W Heck" on the top. If you wire it up with a sierra stalk and escort rear wiper motor, then the motor will work from the front wiper controls both intermittently (approx every 11 seconds, not adjustable) and continuously (single speed only) :

Jon your a god send.....................

just now need to wire the heater to rotory switch its got + 1234 on the back i have tryed all over the internet (nothing) just this and i have to try and work out the pop up headlight motor how it stops at correct hight and how it goes back must have a switch over relay im guessing. Have a great weekend jon and THANKS AGAIN

If it's one of these Durite switches, rated at 29A, that'll do fine ?



What the diagram shows is that with the switch in position I, terminals "+" and "2" are connected, and in position II, terminals "+" and "3" are connected, so you want your power going to terminal "+", and the outputs to the heater fan from terminals "2" and "3".

Jon again you never cease to amaze.
Thats the switch im using but i have a + from fuse to + on switch but were do i put the + from the heater ? i have blown 3 fuses trying this now (after all the wiring i have done ) nothing till what i thought would be straight forward thanks again Lee.

You shouldn't have a plus from the heater. You should have 2 lives from the switch to the heater, and an earth from the heater.

Hi jon.
just got back from hols.
cannot for the life of me work out the heater lets have another go...........

i have a + wire from fuse box... then there is 2 wires from the fan one must be + and other - there is 3 female connections on the top of the heater 2 connect together and 1 on its own the problem is i dont know how many speed it is ford capri mk1 by the look any idea what goes were cheers lee.

I haven't come across a mk1 capri heater box, but this is how I think it should be :

"+ from fuse box" to switch

2 wires from switch (fan is twin speed) to heater resistor pack (not direct to fan motor)

wire from heater resistor pack to earth

the 2 wires from the fan motor itself should connect to the resistor pack

whitty1234

Hi Jon.
sorted it the + from fuse goes to heater blower direct and the other wire goes to switch + and the 2 others from resistor 1 for low and the other is high.
Thank god its drove me insane but as ever thanks for the help lee.

Hi Jon.
What do you know about wiring a mk1 mondeo wiper motor?
spent all day cutting and welding brackets to make it fit (could not imagine only 1 speed with that rear wiper) so ive managed to get it all in now all i need to do is wire it up the tricky part is there are no wires from the motor just 5 connectors.I have tryed to undo it to see the wire colours or markings but could not see anything.Another great test for the master?
