Hooking up new wiring to 63 wiper motor

[Chester C.]

Besides the pump wiring, there are 3 wires in a terminal that go to the wiper motor. There is a middle wire and then a red one and a yellow one. When connected to the wiper motor does the yellow wire face towards the firewall or the engine. Thanks

Now I'm really confuse. I've found posts that say the yellow wire faces the front of the engine. And another one that says just the opposite. Maybe since the middle wire is the hot wire it makes no difference. 63/64 owners, if you have a chance look at your wiper wiring please and let me know, thanks.

My car is not accessible right now but I just looked at the 63 AIM wiring diagram and the three wires for the wiper motor are in the following order Y = drivers side BRN = center location and R = passengers side.

Thanks for your help but I'm still confused due to the plug being perpendicular to the doors. Maybe with your info along with other clues I can figure it out.

You may want to try installing the plug. There are notches in the plastic to allow it to slip over the small protrusions on the wiper motor terminal board. Should not install the wrong way.

Brian is right. Due to the shape of the connector, there is no way to hook it up backwards.
