nick one from scrappy, dismantle ur boot, find the boot onen catch rod, rig it up to a power source and a switch then back to chasis (earth) then fix the selonoid to the rod and pop. Make sure u get a ford selenoid tho, vauxhall ones burn out.

you dont need to run wiring all through the car, you can use the existing wiring from the rear wiper motor.

yeh but its pretty dangerous, think if ur going down the motorway and u accidentally put the wrong wiper on. Best way to get the wiring thru all the nook and crannies is a trusty wire coathanger and a shit loada duck tape.

i never had a rear wiper anyway. so the wires have to be put thru, thats the easy part i reckon. just have'nt ever fitted a solenoid so was jus wondering how thats done.

no, cos you cut the wires at the fuse box and put a switch in. not like your ever gonna use the rear wiper again anyway.
took me 10 minutes too wire mine up inc running the wire, piece of piss to do!!!

^^^ kris is right, u just need to locate one wire from the solenoid, the other is earth which u attach to the boot near the solenoid. The +ve runs down left side of car, go to passenger footwell anmd remove the plastic side piece under the glove box.....the wire is then staying u in the face lol, jujst make sure its the right colour.
Cut it and run another wire from it to a 12v source, through a switch!
