    "Painless" harness question

    I'm installing a "painless" harness in my '65 fastback and so far it hasn't been too bad (other than I am completly intimidated by the thought of wiring my own car).  I have a two speed motor and connected the wiper switch using the original connector from the harness to the wiper motor.  I tested the switch using a battery charger and every is working; low speed, high speed and parking.  There is a single black wire that is stamped, "#969 washer pump to wiper motor".  The instructions say to "connect this wire to single male terminal on the side of the wiper motor" but there is no other terminal on my motor.  Do I need to splice this black wire into one of the blue, yellow, red or white wires on the wiper motor to get power to the washer pump? 
    For some reason I don't have an "upload" icon on the bar so I tried the tinypic thingy but that doesn't work either.



    Thanks for any help

    Re: "Painless" harness question

    Answered my own question.  Without connecting the wire in question, I hooked up the other end to the pump, put power to the wiper switch, and the pump turns on when I pull the knob.  It works whether I have the wipers on or not, but I don't recall if that's normal or if the pump should only work when the wipers are on.

    This link shows the 65 wire diagram. There is a Black/White (941) wire coming off the wiper switch. You want to connect that wire form the 941 wire on the switch to the washer pump.

    If this forum can't fix it, it isn't broke.

    Thanks for diagram, it looked familiar so I dug through my files and had a copy.  Even though the harness is vehicle/year specific, I’m finding that Painless includes a lot of unnecessary wires to cover different options. #941 was a different number (#968) but it worked. I didn’t need #969. Thanks again for the response.

    Summit has a nice delay wiper switch for the early mustangs that keeps your orginal knob and gives you nice delay, this is the part number for mine C5ZZ-17A553-V1 SWITCH

    Slammed Big Blue, ran over the varmints that messed with the Stang. Now all is good in the NW

    Re: "Painless" harness question

    Installed 2 Painless harnesses kits on one car.  And EFI harness and a chassis harness.

    Took a while but got it done.  There was an old guy who was pretty helpful that I talked to a couple of times.  But a few of the guys were kind of dicks that acted like I was bothering them.
