#1 Heater motor wiring

Hello folks.

Has anyone ever seen wiring like this on a heater motor? Seems to be the only one I've seen based on googling and researching.

The red and black seem to be connected after having tested with a multimeter. I'd imagine the other two relate to speed setting from the dash - but would be grateful for any advice

Apologies for the terrible photo, I will try and take a better one. There are 4 wires leaving the motor housing, 1 black, 1 yellow, 1 green and one red.

Someone's put new wires in it.

I'd try putting 12v across each coloured wire in turn with the negative connected to the black.

If you are using the car battery as a power source include a ten amp fuse for your tests....just in case :bigrin: :bigrin:

Thanks all. Mich - that post looks like it exactly matches my issue so should point me in the right direction, I guess I'm not the only one with slightly amended wiring!!
