Wiring Diagrams for A1 Cardone? Sign In

Hey, first time posting here, tried using a service online that charged $20 bucks an answer, hopefully I can do better here...
I have a 2005 Wrangler, 4.0 with just under 48K miles on it.

I pulled it outta storage after the 10.5 months I was deployed. Get back, the windshield wipers don't work. Awesome, right? Apparently, according to the State of NC at least, driving without windshield wipers in the rain is somewhat of a safety issue, and I must attend to it before I can register my vehicle down here. Fine.

I had a buddy with a multimeter, and the motor was apparently getting power, so I ordered a new one from A1 Cardone, part number 45-453, and after installing it, it still doesn't work. Super. My buddy with the multimeter is in Japan, so I decided to get all new fuses, but it still doesn't work. The only other thing I can think of is the switch itself on the steering column. I need a quick fix, and don't have the time to get into it at the moment, I'm leaving soon and need to get this thing inspected and registered before, so I'm looking for real down and dirty.

Figured I'd run a wire straight from the battery to the motor and to a toggle switch on the dash that would at the very least give me a good on/off situation. I used the old motor as a test dummy, cut off the connector and exposed the wires, there are six of them if my memory serves me right, it's not in front of me at the moment. Either, A. I wired something wrong, I'm airframes, not avionics, so it's possible. or B. The motor is actually dead and I'm dealing with multiple failures, but I could not get the motor to work one bit.

I'm thinking if I could find a wiring diagram for the motor, I could (with the help of an actual avionics guy) makes heads or tails of which wire does what so I can get it wired correctly and see if that helps instead of mixing and mashing until I electrocute myself. I'm not a fan of the latter.

So, after that long winded intro, I'm looking for said wiring diagram from A1, but can not locate it.

The. End.

Being a retired vet , AE -5 I know that they taught you better troubleshooting in "A" school . Whether a metal bender or a tweet. That said here is your diagram..........

Please, I can troubleshoot just fine. I'll tell ya, the second the landing gear on the Jeep don't retract, or we have a phantom hydraulic leak from some vague mystery actuator, I'll be all over it. Wires, engines, seats and things that go boom are not my forte. Thanks though for pulling up that diagram!

Statements like that won't earn you any respect here. That's actually scary.


Here is the rest of the diagram

Ex B1-B weapons system loader and troubleshooter here. Maybe we can mount a flare pod on the hood and aim it at the windshield to evaporate the water off.

Yeah, he can wire that up with a toggle switch too.

You want a circuit that you can select individual squibs to fire off the flares. You can use the toggle switch to arm it. You don't want to fire all the flares off at once because you'll melt the vehicle behind you and turn the inside of your car into an incinerator.
