The wire are cloth covered and they should be color coded.
NLG = brown with light green
RLG = red with light green
G= green +12v line
Have you tried cleaning the cloth covering to see if you can find some color
markings?
I had to look at mine under a magnifying glass to see the colors. The red
was evident but the brown and green were very faint.
I just happen to find a wiper motor in my parts and the color of the
wires is dingy so I wiped them off with a little foam engine cleaner and the
wire colors became clear.
There is a wire coming out the other side of the motor from the 3
wire and it goes to a cover plate which is the wiper park switch. I put
one lead of my ohm meter on that wire connection and found the following.
Red wire= .2 ohms
Brown wire= 9.9 ohms
Green wire= 24.4 ohms
Hope that helps

Subject: wiper motor connections
Need some help on connecting the wiper motor on my Tiger.
Somewhere along the line, the wires got unplugged (easy for a foot to snag
them) from the time I inspected it and the time I bought it and brought it
home, some time ago. The wipers worked at inspection.
The motor appears to be a used item installed by a previous owner and its
wires do not have identifiable color codes. They're all kind of a dingy
brown/gray and look like they might even be cotton insulated.
I realize that the motor speeds work by connecting one or both motor leads
to ground via the wiper switch and the remaining wire from the motor goes to
a 12V positive lead.
I have been able to get one speed working (can't tell if it's fast or
slow) , by switching through a matrix of possible wire combinations, but
that's also resulting in some blown fuses and I can't get both speeds
working.
Is there a way to test the motor leads with an ohmmeter or some other
technique to figure out which is which?
