Hi there, I think there are a couple of people on here who are not looking at the correct picture. If you have a 6 volt wiper motor that draws 3amps on 6volt supply and then you apply 12volts to the 6volt wiper it will draw 6amps current. So you need to reduce the voltage and current flow to the 6volt wiper motor by placing a resistor or voltage control in series to reduce the 12 volt supply back down to 6volts. You could of course fit a 12volt wiper. THIS SITUATION IS ONLY AN EXAMPLE. I am not going to post on this again because I am correct. Please do your homework before posting incorrect information chaps. Regards, Kevin.
