ANOTHER Wiper Harness Q Thread
So I'm trying to get a wiper harness from a car I'm parting out.
The harness that is getting replaced looks like so.
It's from a TII which I hear are different.
One end terminates at the wiper motor; the other at an orange connector in the right of the passenger footwell.
The harness in my S5 GTU looks like this.
It's located in the same area; but instead of terminating at an orange clip, 4 wires (the blue wires) go to a large yellow clip, and 1 black (ground) wire goes to an orange connector.
I was under the impression that this should be a stand-alone harness like the top picture above?
On top of that, I thought that this is supposed to terminate to the orange connector?
Long story short;
I need to clip the blue & black wires coming from the wiper connector at the yellow connector, then pin them to the orange connector and it's setup? Does that sound correct? Moreover does anyone have a pin-out of the ORANGE connector? Thanks.

If this helps:the s4 harness that is needed will show 2 more connectors and also 2 wires(Bl/w and something else.sorry) coming off the main harness.
the 2 connectors are for AWS and cruise.

'the S4 harness that is needed' - I'm unclear that I would need an S4 harness. As all cars/engines involved are S5.
Also; just to make sure I'm not missing anything; here is the connector that the black wire goes to. (connector @ top-left; black wire is the single wire coming from the right)
The wires heading 'north' in the picture are going to the bright-yellow ECU connectors (3 to one, 1 to the other).
As a sidenote; would this relate to the blower motor at all?

Sorry I got you confused.
did you try just to plug in the Harness,?.to the wiper motor and the big connector to the Passenger side kick panel area?.
if that works,then you can clean up anything else not required.
.....
I was just stating what the s4 harness had,as I have to do this,this week too.

The only wire going to the heater assy would be a blak/red wire and has nothing at all to do with wipers. The black/red is tied to the start circuit and when the key is held to start the blower motor is shut off by a relay in that assy which is fed by the black/red wire.
There are other black/red tied to the subzero start system.
