thank you very much. i had seen that post b4 (like last year) but couldnt find it today. it all went very well. my intent was to just change everything in one unit including the motor, so was stymied when it turned out to be a different electrical connection. anyway, it all swapped over quite nicely and now i have wipers that actually work.
now for some reason there's no wiper fluid coming out, but thats a prob 4 tomorrow.lol.
