The circuit is so simple there is really no need for a diagram.
I'm not buying that. If it were that simple, it would be working as you thought it would and as Jeff speculated.
I looked at Jeff's write up, your posts etc. With all the piecemeal figures, and diagrams without labeling of how the circuits are wired, fed power, and ground, it just doesn't click for me. It's just the way I was trained by USAF. I need a schematic to understand the big picture and to rule out unintended ground paths. We'll call it a personal flaw.
No, it's simple. You are trying to over complicate it
. Note that Jeff said "he was told" this would work and Sir Andy said you could take power from that wire for the washer, but did not go that route himself. I might be the first one stubborn enough to try it.
However, they are both right... sort of. If you DON'T have intermittent wipers, you can just take power off the brown/black wire for the washer pump. Pull back on the lever and the pump will run, but you won't get the few cycles of wiper unless unless you have an intermittent harness and relay installed. If those ARE installed, you get a few cycles of wiper when the washer pump runs just like we want. But now there is a problem because that brown/black wire is supposed to be connected to ground in all wiper lever positions other than down ("J"). The ground defeats the intermittent circuit so it doesn't run when the lever is in "off," "low speed," or "high speed" position. Pulling down to J disconnects the brown/black from everything, making it a dead wire. That lets the intermittent run on low speed by energizing the 53. The problem being that hooking the brown/black wire to the pump creates a new path to ground so it doesn't become a dead wire when the lever is pulled down to "J" position. Thus, the intermittent circuit remains defeated.
Important to remember that the brown/black wire was never intended to run a washer pump by the factory. It just happens to be a handy source for 12v when the washer lever is pulled back on the stalk.
I've added the full circuit diagram below, but the only things not shown in the snippet above are what the various switch wires attach to. Those are:
S1 - attaches to 15 on intermittent relay (or taped up and dead end if that option isn't present).
53 - goes to low speed power input on wiper motor
53b - high speed power on wiper motor
53c - not present but apparently where the factory ran power for an electric washer pump on other models. I'm guessing on sixes too.
And if the intermittent option is installed, there is an additional harness that connects the relay to the wiper motor and brown/black wire which is shown in Jeff's article.
The bottom line is that connecting the brown/black wire to anything that creates a path to ground F's up the intermittent circuit as it was designed by the factory. That needs to be an open, dead end wire when the lever is pulled down into the "J"/intermittent position.
