Hi All....I'm doing a full re-wire job on my Sterling and have it almost completed except for a couple of questions. (#2 is on another post) *My wipers have four wires coming out of them. *My wiring diagram shows five wires. *Physical testing shows one wire for ground, one wire for high speed and another wire for low speed. *The fourth wire does nothing. *Why don't I have a fifth wire and what's the fourth wire for? Any ideas? Thanks, Mac. Photo's of both of my Sterlings are on my web site http://www.shootiniron.com

That's because you have a motor that isn't from a Beetle. These wiper motors are generally from Greyhound Bus(es)or any other municipal type vehicle with a pantograph style wiper. The wiring diagram that you have is probably for a 1500/1600 Beetle; the 1300 Beetle wiper motor has four wires as well - two of which are grounds for some reason. Just go with what you found. My hunch is the fourth wire is probably a separate ground, maybe so it parks in the right spot.
VW wiper wiring?
