I put in an LMC 2-speed wiper motor kit to replace vacuum one. Hot wire to wiper power,fused at fuse block.No action! Just a bad ground (to dash brace)? Fuses a are good, 15 amp (one inline,LMC) and one at fuse block.Obviously I am electrically challenged.

Welcome to the Stovebolt wave

It really helps if you ID your truck year and model at the start of every post, we cover over 60 years here and they are not all wired the same.

Do you have power and ground at the motor?

Do you have a multi meter and/or test light?

Wire per instructions in kit. How many wires are there? IF the motor in your kit is supposed to be grounded by bolting, add a ground wire from motor to a good ground.

Mine(52 1/2 ton) came with a ground wire on the motor case. 2 speed, self parking and worked fine(Classic Industries). Inline fuse included. Work fine but the collar on the drive tends to slip(winter ice did that). You can hook to the battery for a simple test, but you need to understand the switch for good results. Multiple wires on the motor, Slow, Fast and park(through a cam operated switch inside the motor). Can be confusing. Should have a diagram for install.

Sorry I am so late returning. Truck is a 52 Chevy, 12 volt. I do have a voltage tester. Ground wire from motor attached to same spot (dash brace) as support bracket for motor.
