I know this isn't hard core tech, but I need some help figuring out my wipers. The motor and wiper unit was off of the cruiser when I purchased it in So. Cal. Now I'm in Alaska and really need them. Does someone have schematics or a basic wiring diagram to help me start diagnosing the problem. I plugged them in and they didn't work. I turned on the switch and tested each pin in the plug with a test light and got no power so where should I look next? Thanks
FYI its a 1971 FJ40

fuses are fine. How is this unit grounded? Is it through the windshield frame? Thanks for the diagram...
