Marina Wash Wipe

[listerjp2]

I have a Marina Window/ Wash Wipe Stalk and Windscreen Wiper Motor.

To confirm I have the correct colour cables going to both, can someone please take a picture of both where the plug fits to the socks.

Note 1: I have the original church window connector at the stalk end.

Note 2: I have a wiring diagram.

Note 3: I have replaced motor and stalk with new.

It's driving me mad, as soon as I turn the ignition on the wipers start and the stalk does not control the speed or turn it off.

Help please.

Re: Marina Wash Wipe

Hi Adrian, all my wiring is still hanging up in sections ready for when I get chance to sort through it.
Here is the wiper motor end.

Mine was wired into a cheap crappy dash mounted switch and I will be replacing but these are the wires that I have labeled for the switch (if it was wired correctly in the first place)

Hope this helps, cheers, Martin.

Hi Martin

Many thanks for this.

I will wait to see if anyone has a picture of the church window stalk end just to confirm.

Re: Marina Wash Wipe

A quick google search.
It’s not the plug but this any good for the switch/stalk side?

Hi David

The pictures you sent are brill and very helpful.

Many thanks.

It confirms that I have wired it correctly.

Electrics are my personal nightmare and I have decided to get an auto electrician to look at it.

Re: Marina Wash Wipe

Adrian I had an issue with the wipers on mine, turned out to be the park switch in the wiper motor, The wipers were bouncing off the bottom of the window frame so passing the 'stop'. altered the wipers on the spindle slightly and bingo! Just a thought.

Hi Steve

Have already replaced that on my old wiper and have now purchased a new motor, still the same.

Hi Adrian
The Marina/Marlin electrics are actually pretty simple. Everything is in series and there are no relays to worry about.
First thing to do is isolate the switch. Disconnect the switch from the loom and turn on ignition. If wiper motor starts then you have a wiring issue at the wiper motor end. Check motor wiring. Make sure the motor has a good earth connection. This is the black wire, trace it back to earth. Check with multimeter. Solid green wire is live. Check that it is in position 4 as per diagram below

If the wiper does not spin with switch disconnected then it is a problem with the switch. What speed does the motor spin at? If low speed then check the low speed wiring and if high speed the other.
Look at the male and female sides of the loom plug. Do the wire colours match up?
Disconnect the switch from the loom and then using a short wire manually connect the pin with solid green wire to the pin with blue / green wire. This should make the motor spin. Do the same between the solid green wire and the red / green wire. This should make the motor spin at a different speed.
Last point, the brown / green wire is for park. This is a constant live to the motor when the column switch is in the off position. If there is a problem with the microswitch in the motor or other aspects of the park system then this will cause the motor to run at all times.

You do not say if the parts you have used as replacements are brand new or new to you ie. second hand. If second hand then you need to double check that nothing has been messed around with.

Hope this helps.

Re: Marina Wash Wipe

All good advice .

I will give it a whirl when I finish work.

Thanks for the information.

If it works I will be the first to let you know.

Have replaced both switch and motor with new.

Re: Marina Wash Wipe

If it turns out to be the park system then please see diagram below for further detail. It is basically a plunger that pushes down onto a contact strip when a small "lump" under the main drive gear gets to a certain position in its rotation.

Re: Marina Wash Wipe

Adrian, I have a spare motor if you need one. I will check both of my motors as jon_cox described to make sure they both work.

Found this on the Locost site.

Had a check on my plug and lo and behold the green/blue and green/brown are the other way round.

This is how it was supplied .

Will swap later and see if it works.

I blindly thought the loom would be correct, shows you how blinkered one can be when working on ones own.

I will report back.

Re: Marina Wash Wipe

Well there you go, what a burk.

Works perfectly now, stop, slow, fast and park.

Thanks to everyone for your input which at least spurred me on to look further and don't believe that just because it was supplied like that doesn't mean that it can't be wrong.

On to the next job.

Re: Marina Wash Wipe

Fantastic. Well done Adrian for persevering. Electrics aren't really that difficult. Just needs logical process.
It is a worry though that you were supplied a new part that was not correct. You should inform the supplier incase they have a bad batch so that others do not have the same issues.
Glad we were all able to help.
