Wiper motor wiring

In my haste to get my wipe motor out so I can clean up the park switch (whilst I wait for minispares to deliver) I cannot remember which terminals the blue and red wire connect to. The green goes to the inner wing I remember that much!
Haynes says "make a note before disconnecting"... fat load of good when I've got it in bits.
Can anyone help?

Oh I think you're probably right but where is this green wire from?
Their all (green, yellow & red) from the motor and you can just see the green wire too if you enlargen the image.

My original wiring had a the middle terminal empty, with the green wire connected to the inner wing.
Maybe that explains why they never parked (and of course, my rev counter does not work) - from searching I'm hoping that fixing the switch will miraculously bring my rev counter back to life.
Thanks Super Taff for the photo, I have saved that away somewhere safe for future reference.

If there's still a problem, then it's well worth replacing the park-switch and I imagine a previous owner removed and re-routed that green wire in an attempt to stop the fuse on that circuit from blowing. (Third one down, 25amp).

They usually fail to park when the park-switch has worn out. And you might just be lucky, because if you get the wiper motor working and earthing properly (usually corrects a short circuit) then your tachometer should start working again so long as the blade connector for it is attached to the main 4 fuse box.

Noted, I have spare fuses to hand. If it blows I'll put the green wire back to the wing for now. A replacement switch is on order from minispares.
