Early warning: I am now officially out of wiper motor pigtails (5-pin
connectors with wires). All of the junk yards near here have been cleaned
out and I don't expect to be in Atlanta any time soon to visit a
Pull-a-Part. SO, if you're planning to order an electric wiper upgrade
kit, be aware that I WILL NOT be able to supply a pigtail. If you're in a
junkyard, for whatever reason, go ahead and get a pigtail. The 5-pin
connector is used on virtually all GM trucks and SUV's of the '90's. Those
on S-10's are easiest to collect because the ground wire and the other 4
wires are in a separate bundle toward the driver's side. Other vehicles
have the ground, only, routed toward the passenger side, thus complicating
pulling the 12" or so you'd like to get. Cost should be <$2.50. NOTE:
This does NOT imply that those same motors work with my kit -- ONLY the
'90-'96 Chevy Lumina APV/Old Silhouette, or Pontiac Transport front wiper
motors fit it!
Buying a new connector (pigtail) from a dealer, parts store, eBay, etc., is
certainly possible -- but expensive. I've seen them for as much as $50,
and seldom below $30.
When I have them, I clean the pigtails and sell them for $10, so if
anyone's visiting a junkyard and wants to earn a couple of bucks, collect
and send a few to me; I'll pay $5.00 each. Just be sure they're not REAL
dirty or oil-soaked, and that the latch is not broken.
Here's the pattern we use, looking into the connector on the motor:
