Hi guys.

This is not the most die hard topic, but I really need this for a possibly rainy race weekend in a few days. I need to replace the wiper motor in my Integra. The wiper motor has a 4 pin plug, as does the wiring harness. However, in my service manual (for 96 model year), it describes a 5 pin plug. I need to replace the motor, and the dealer says that the motors that he has are 5 pins. I don't know where the previous owner got the motor, so I don't know if it's original either.

My car does not have the original wiring harness, and I don't know what it is. So my question is: Is there a Honda wiper motor that has a 4 pin plug?

Thanks for any help.

 

First of all what year is the car? And have you tried looking at another year for the same vehicle (ex. 95 but look under a 99)?

Don't always rely on the parts guy, most but not all know nothing more than what the computer tells them.

I would guess that the 5th pin is for intermittent. If it is for race, you only need 1 speed, just wire it so you have full speed.

 

I think the car is a 98, but I don't know what it really is--I think it was a production prototype.

After looking at the pin assignments, I should be able to wire it up to work, but since the current motor has the correct plug, I was hoping I could find a direct replacement.

Thanks for the advice guys.

 

What is the 10th digit of the vin number? That will tell what year it is.

 

The vin number is not normal. It starts with ST7 and the entire number is ten characters.

 

That's interesting. Where did you get it?

 

I bought the car from Taz Harvey after he was done running it in World Challenge. The car was built by DC Sports, and I am guessing it was one of those prototypes that normally gets crushed after it has served its purpose.
