I would like to install a 2 plug wiper motor and my wiring harness is for a 1 plug motor, how do I CONVERT.(I am presently rebuilding our plow truck and am using a combination of ford body parts. Wipers I will be using are wired with one plug, the wiper motor that came on the replacement cab is a 2 plug, both cabs were the same year and model. How can I connect to have hi, lo, and intermit, speeds.

Same number of wires on each unit? Can you color code match?

I feel that this will not be interchangeable, you may have to fit the motor that matches the existing loom, is this an option?

The number of wires are different. I will get some photos and try to send. This will take a few hours.

The motors are wired differently and likely have different features. You will have to remain with the correct motor.
