I've just bought a used RH Caterham Wiper Motor mechanism Linky Which I intend to wire up to my sierra stalks. i'm after a bit of help with what wire does what on the wiper motor.

There is a 5 terminal connection on the motor with 3 wires I can see (Yellow, Red, Blue)

I've put the multimeter on it, and one of the other terminals shorts out of every other terminal in the block - I guess this an earth??

Any idea what wires do what on one of these ?? Failing that, it's a call to Caterham.

That's a Mini wiper motor. There is a wiring diagram in the CBS catalogue (available online)
I have a spare plug with wires that you can have.

Wiring diagram also on the S-V-C website

Wiring depends on which switch you will be using. The socket you see on the wiper box has the park switch mechanism inside. A special 5 wire plug goes into that from the loom. The three wires you see on the motor, blue, red and yellow should remain as they are on the motor side of the socket and are not wired in direct to your loom.
The park cycle is controlled within the socket. It can be made to work correctly with the proper Lucas switch or a sierra stalk. Pic below is for later sierra column stalks. Numbers and colours in the outer ring are those on the sierra stalks terminals. Inner ring for lucas plug.
