Does anybody know where Headlight wiper motor wiring harness is, I can't seem to find it.

I want to keep the OEM look and leave the blades but disable just the passenger wiper motor which has a mind of its own where it finds its park position.

Thanks

The wires for the motors has a join that is clipped just above the headlights. It is usually a brown connector with a push wire to disconnect.

In the lower part of the picture you can see a brown connector not connector to anything. That is the headlight wiper motor connector. Just below it to the right you can just see the edge of the connector it should clip into under the edge of the slam panel in the same color.

For posterity and clarity, is the circle the correct connector?

Thank you Scot!

That is one half. If you look slightly lower to the edge of the slam panel and just to the right of the with cable label you can see the other part where it plugs into. It is the same color. The connector you have circled it the cable end leading to the motor itself.

You may also need to undo the water hose to the headlight wiper, it looses quite a good amount when spraying the windshield.

Not sure where it's connected to the reservoir.

You can remove it from the wiper arm and just tie a knot in the end of the pipe and tuck it behind the panel.

Glad the amp is working well!

Ya, I had the arm removed, but didn't have the motor removed so I got tired of that look and wasn't ready to remove it completely for any future buyer. I like the look of the wipers, and maybe if I keep the liquid connecting it should clean the headlight from the wind pressure. Tieing a knot is not a bad idea, I had some electrical tape.

Thanks all
