I'm working on the wiper motor on my '68 Camaro. Can anyone take a picture of their wiper motor? I'm looking for the wiring diagram. On another note does anyone know which wire goes where on the switch? I've searched here and internet. I'm close just not there yet.
thanks
Google the wiring schematic there are several out there. I'm in the middle of a move so I don't have access to my paper copies.
Be aware that it is a power switched system not a ground switched system. This means power goes through the switch then powers the motor.

Thanks Rick, I have googled and googled and... I'm finding all sorts of wiring diagrams on the motor itself, but none showing what wires go to what terminal on the switch.

Ummm, it took me about 5 seconds to do a google. Is this not what you're looking for? The connector on the windshield wiper switch should look similar to the 3 prong header block shown in the schematic.

I kept all the connectors from my 67 camaro when I was ripping it apart, and I believe this is the connector that connects to the wiper switch, as the wire colors match the schematic. Unfortunately I wasn't able to identify which connector went to the original motor. I'm using the raingear wiper system so I didn't reuse the old connectors.

You are correct this is the one for the switch.. I want to thank everyone for their help, but I found my old switch pigtail in a box of old parts this afternoon. I was pretty sure I still had it, but couldn't for the life of me figure out where I put it until now. If you don't mind me asking, what specifically did you google to find this? I googled '68 Camaro wiper switch wiring diagram was one of them.

I believe I would keep that wiper switch connector just because. I don't see where anyone has it to purchase.
