Wiper switch & motor wiring - Is this correct?

1971 C-10

Lots of information on how these are wired. Some of it wrong, including a manual or two. At any rate, I'm hoping for confirmation or correction. Especially for operation of the Light Blue and Dark Blue wires. Thanks for any input.


Wiring: The following descriptions are from the top down for the switch in a mounted position.


18 AWG Light Blue: Operates the wipers (high/low). This wire runs to the dual pins on the RH (TS) portion of the motor.

18 AWG Dark Blue: Operates the washer. This wire runs to the dual pins in the bottom of the motor. NOTE: The bottom is the widest of the two dual connector/pins on the motor.

18 AWG Black: Ground wire. This wire connects to the single pin on the RH (TS) portion of the motor.


Other:

18 AWG Yellow: This wire runs from inside the fuse box to the connector on the bottom of the motor. A second yellow wire leads from this connector to the dual pin connector on the RH (TS) portion of the motor.

NOTE: Yellow was positioned on the bottom of both dual connectors.



TS means truck side.
