windshield wiper motor

couldn't find any past threads on this, and couldn't find it in the haynes manual...

what plugs into the windshield wiper motor to give it power? i can't for the life of me find a harness to attach to it...

the car is a '90 gxl w/ '91 tII swap

many thanks

A US-spec engine management harness will have the plug for the wiper motor, but a J-spec harness will not. If the turbo swap was done using the J-spec harness, it's possible the wiper harness will be completely gone.

Ya..+1 on the Wiper wiring being on the Harness.
Can you "maybe' use the original N/A wiring?that would have the Wiper motor harness on it?..
alot of guys run into Snafu's lik ethat when doing swaps such as yours.
I'd be Comparing Harnesses to find out what would be simpler rather than Using the "proper" harness.
(Myself,I am putting a S5 Tii Keg into an S4 N/A using the N/A's Engine harness..Why?Because it is Easier.,NO Farting with extra wires to the alternator.repinning etc).
anyways.I hope that Tid bit of info helps..(see if you can find the Factory service manuals ONLINE.they are Free..).
