Windscreen wiper motor

[kzlws6]

Hi, as per the attached video clip, when I continuity test my windscreen wiper motor with a multimeter, it registers continuity between all 4 pins on the connector. The pins are for power, low speed, high speed and park.
Is this normal? It does NOT register continuity between the pins and the motor casing.
Thanks

It doesn’t surprise me, however to find out if that is normal, you will need a meter to measure resistance and a diagram showing the internal wiring of the motor assembly.

Some way through the thread below are suggestions of how it could be tested (but for a similar, but not identical, motor). Keep looking!

Re-assemble a HK Preslite wiper motor: I am re-assembling the Preslite wiper motor and need some info about the following points: 1. Do the magnetets in the motor need to be glued in? 2. If they do, is there a correct type of adhesive for this? 3. Is there a particular type of grease to use...

Thanks, that was helpful

My favourite multimeter indicates anything less than 60 ohms as continuity. You need to look at the actual resistance readings, which will be all well below 60 ohms.
