So I have a oem glass windshield with wiper and sprayer went riding and the next morning the wiper was frozen to the windshield warmed up the machine and didn’t realize I hit the wiper rocker and it fried the motor I bought a ford escape rear wiper motor for the 180 rotation does anyone know how I can wire it into the existing harness?

If your existing motor is mounted above the glass and not in the glass the Ford escape motor will always have your wiper going on and off the glass when running. I would have to do some checking to remember and see how I hooked mine up.

Ok, here I go. I hope this straightens things out for you. Please don't be offended if I write something really stupid that you already know.

The wiper operates off of 12v negative ground.

First, right click on the image, save it and print it. It's easier if you have it in front of you for reference. H/T to @ohanacreek for this drawing.

Wiper Wiring


Second - Here is the relay I used...

Dorman Conduct-Tite 88069 - Relay | O'Reilly Auto Parts

All this relay is used for is to route ground to the wiper. The pins will be marked properly on it.

I also use this for all my grounds:

Here's how to wire it and the wiper:

The red wire from the motor is connected directly to +12v. Not accessory power. The wiper motor must have a constant +12v for it to be able to "park" when turned off.

The yellow wire from the motor is connected to ground.

The green wire from the motor is connected to pin 87a on the relay.

The black wire from the motor is connected to pin 30 on the relay.

Install a jumper from pin 86 to 87 on the relay. Include a wire long enough to allow pin 87 to connect to ground.

Pin 85 on the relay is connected to the switch you plan on using.

Here's how it all works...

When you turn on your wiper switch it turns on the relay. This causes the contact to close, supplying ground from pin 30 to pin 87 which supplies ground to the motor. Since the motor has a constant +12v coming in on the red wire the motor turns on.

When you turn off your wiper switch the relay is turned off, removing ground from pin 87. Pin 30 is now connected to pin 87a of the relay. This engages the park switch (internal to the wiper) which allows the wiper to return home (park) instead of stopping in the middle of your windshield.

If you are using the Cooper Bussmann PDM I would just use one of the fused outputs to supply power to your switch. The relay it is powering is drawing minimal amperage.

How'd I do? Hopefully this makes sense.
@AKRider.

Actually it depends on the year of your rig. It seems that 22+ actually use a switched positive system instead of switched negative. I wired my 23 up with switched negative and had nothing but problems. @NorthernJoe helped me figure it out and I've had zero issues since switching it to switched positive. I can post up a diagram after I get home.

Here is the diagram for 12V switched positive. The Orange wire on the diagram=the Yellow wire for the OEM wiring.
