wiper motor wire identification

[gbogh]

I have been trying to figure out why my wipers aren't turning off, and I think I might have found the culprit.
There are 2 wires that look like ground wires on my wiper motor mount plate. The one that is supposed to go through the firewall is stripped/cut/dangling now.
Does anybody know where it's supposed to go?

Maybe it goes into a ground clip or something like that? @Spike Strip... maybe you know? I'd bet if OS was still here he'd have the answer!

What happened to OS?

If that is the passenger side of a 60, I think that is the power antenna ground

MMMM. That would also make sense if it's cut... The PO installed a aftermarket antenna/CD player.

I have two wires tho as seen in the pix (which is mine). One goes into the firewall and the other hooks into the wiper housing. I imagine the one into the firewall goes into a ground clip of some sort. Check the electrical fsm and you'll prob find it.
