1. As illustrated, use a 12 V battery to connect its (+) terminal to terminal "A", and its (-) terminal to Black lead wire.
If motor rotates at a low revolution speed of 44 to 52 rpm, it is proper. For high speed check, connect battery (+) terminal to terminal "B", and its (-) terminal to Black lead wire. If motor rotates at a high revolution speed of 64 to 78 rpm, it is proper.
2. Testing automatic stop action.
a. Connect 12 V battery (+) terminal to terminal "A" of wiper motor and (-) terminal to "Black" lead wire (1) and let the motor turn.
b. Disconnect terminal "A" from battery, and let the motor stop.
