Dash switch wiring

[Steve Riley]

I've got an E-M Cobra that I'm wiring the dash up on. The wiring harness doesn't take into account the wiper motor or its control switch. The switches came from Finish Line with an 8 prong set-up, the wiper assy also came from Finish line with a connector of 5 prongs. These are not color coded and I'm not sure how to tell which wire connects to which connector. Any advise on how to do this? Directions, diagrams?
Would love some help,
Steve Riley

Steve,
I just looked at my E-M wireing diagrams which in general are good and complete. You are right though they only show the hot wire going to the wiper switch. There it stops. The same is true for the heater fan. My guess is since these wires just stay under the dash they never bothered to include them in the diagrams. They have opened up again so you could try calling them to see if they can help.

The wiring must also depend on what wiper motor you are using.

For what it's worth mine has a 2 speed switch. the center position is off, up is fast, and down is slow.
