Hi folks,

Does anyone know if it's possible to wire in the later type of motor into the older type?

If so which wire goes where as the plug is different and the colours different. I bought what I thought was a conversion lead, but isn't. The earlier type seems to have a white plug and the latter a black plug!

The earlier type is:

Other type???

Can someone shed some light and stuff?

Thnaks
 
The older one is from a 1992 and I'm not sure about the newer one.
Newer type From memory:

Blue/light green goes to fast wipe
red/light green goes to slow
brown/light green goes to relay
Green?
Black/green presume earth.

I don't have access to older diagrams at the moment

Found my copy of the 87-91 Workshop Manual incl. Electrical diagrams....

It is 22MB and too large to attach, I even tried extracting just the electrical pages, but this is too large to attach too.....

You can D/L from my Drop box link below:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/2n0lmnyzn4is24u/RRC 87-91 Manual.pdf?dl=0

Scroll to near the end, the electrical manuals start around page 708/9 up to 864 or thereabouts......starts with the 87 model then up to the 91 diagrams.
 
Gah! Can't find any diagrams with just Brown, Black, blue and Red wires going all the way back to 86.

I'm going to have to think about this. I don't want to spunk over 200 notes on a new motor.

Is there a motor repair kit available? Just a thought.
 
Ebay £25.
What classic do you have and what is fitted.
Scrappy will have a direct replacement for not much money.
What is wrong with the one fitted.
 
The one I have fitted is STC495. I just bought one of ebay, but it may not last long. It has very little power and the park is bust as it won't return to position.

I have a 92 with only 4 colours running from the loom. Mine was one of the last built before they really shoved it upmarket. It seems to be a hodgepodge of left over parts.
