Anyone know off the top of their head how I'd wire this up? It might be a hack job but I really don't want to spend $200+ on a correct motor. I just want wipers that work in the rare case that I get caught out in the rain. I'm not worried about originality, just functionality.

I just unboxed the 2 speed unit and you are right (of course). I thought I could cobble up a harness and have working wipers for $30. Looks like I'll be wiperless until I can come up with the big $$$. (Or maybe I'll start poking at the old unit and see if I can do a simple repair on it).

All you need is a 2 speed switch and the harness which should be easy to get and it's plug and play. The switch and the arm should also be fairly easy to find, maybe even be able to use the 2 speed swicth and leave off the extra jumper wire ... I think there is an extra wire that is an ADD ON to the harness , it's been a while ...
