Hi
Please help, I have just brought a second hand wiper motor of ebay it came with a different connector (due to my car being P reg the motor came from a mgf after 2000). To cut a long story short I have removed the odd connectors. I am left with some different coloured wires (5 on the motor & 5 on the wiper), please could someone match these wires up so I can connect them to each other.
The MGF wire colours are: Red/Brown, Blue/Green, Brown/Green, Green/Grey, Black.
The wiper motor wire colours are: Red, Black, Blue, Green, Brown.
Cheers
Chris Adair

Re: MGF WIPER MOTOR WIRING PROBLEM.
I did something very similar last year - http://mgf.ultimatemg.com/group2/common ... troduction
What I found is that my 1995 MGF had the same wiper motor wire colours as the replacement motor from a late model TF. What I did therefore was to snip off both connectors, and then soldered together the wires from the MGF connector to the matching colour wire on the motor-side harness of the replacement wiper motor. This works a treat, and doesn't require you to know the car loom colours.
My wife has my car at the moment, but if you still need the car wiring loom to wiper motor wiring loom colours then I can probably get that to you later this evening

Hi
Thanks for the reply, unfortunately I have missplaced (lost) the two old connectors. It would be a big help for me if you could match the coloured wires up when your good lady gets home. I look forward to your reply.
all the best
Cheers
Chris

Re: MGF WIPER MOTOR WIRING PROBLEM.
Ugh! Well, this is a problem... I can't now open the bonnet - looks as though the release mechanism has seized! That'll teach me to wash the car! 
Sorry Chris - I can't get in to check the wire colours, but I am sure that someone else can help? I'll post again when I can actually get into the bonnet space!
