Windscreen wiper motor wired up with block connector. Had a hell of a job as wipers didn't seem to work properly, turns out that when static, the wipers won't work as you think they should - only when vehicle is moving.
Jacked up rear of car & put on axle stands, put it in gear & went through switch sequence & all appears to work as it should do.
