CallMeAl Posted September 11, 2020 Share #1 Posted September 11, 2020 Hello everyone! I desperately need help with the wiring of the wiper relais. I have chosen the path to completely rewire my car with an universal wiring harness - uuunfortunately I have ripped off all plugs from the old harness and recycled some plug housings already - so I am not able anymore to trace which wire colors went to which contact on the wiper relais. Until yesterday I was not even aware that the wiper motor & switch were connected to a relais in between - only after studying the "Windshield Wiper Motor Connecting Diagram" I came to the conclusion there´s more than the motor and the switch.... Unfortunately none of the wiring diagrams I have found, show the relais. I hope somebody with a 73 wiring harness can help me out and tell me which wire color goes to which connector at the wiper relais. ?? Many thanks in advance - any help highly appreciated!

No 240z wiring harness diagram shows the relais. Only that schematic. So there´s no way guessing nor measuring what contact goes where. Anyway, thanks for the good meant comments ? Meanwhile I have received some pictures from a 73 owner of the corresponding plugs - maybe helpful for others struggling with the same problem. I have learned, that the 28820-N3300 unit is responsible for the intermittent function of the wiper - it should even be possbile to wire the wiper motor and switch directly, loosing the intermittent function only. From the pictures and my remaining wirning harness I will now figure out the correct wiring of the 3 components. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveJ Posted September 11, 2020 Share #5 Posted September 11, 2020 Look through the 74 BE section and wiring diagrams. They should be available on this site. I was helping a friend with his 73 when I realized that the wiring I saw didn't match the 73 FSM. I then compared it to the 74 FSM and found that it matched up better.

PERFECT - thank you very much - that was the missing link - in the 74 260Z service manual - BE Body Electrical page 61 the correct drawing with explanation of each wiper intermitter relais contact was found.

SteveJ Posted September 11, 2020 Share #7 Posted September 11, 2020 Yes, I'm bad about discovering something wrong with the electrical diagrams and not telling everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
