[Tigers] Electrical Question

[Gary Winblad]

Ok, I see the problem...

There are 3 wires to the wiper motor and a ground.

All of the Tiger wiring diagrams show 2 wires and a ground!! Humm...   
LUCAS !?

So..   I don't know..
I figured it out years ago..  I remember that much.  It was the 
discovery that the switch connects
a ground and not a 12v hot that let me figure it out, see my explanation 
below
