The wire color for a windshield wiper motor in an S10 pickup that connects to the fuse is white. The high speed wire is purple, the low speed wire is gray.
It is attached to the wiper motor. It can be easily changed without removing the wiper motor. Unplug the wire harness to the wiper motor, remove the three small screws holding the cover in place, remove the cover, remove the pulse board.

I have found that most S10 (GM) wiper motor trouble is caused by a faulty pulse board, not the motor itself. It is easy to replace and your local auto parts store can sell you an aftermarket pulse board for aprox $20. The wiper motor does not have to be removed to change the pulse board. Unplug the wire harness from the motor, remove the three small screws holding the cover to expose the pulse board then wiggle the board straight out. Reverse order to install.
It is attached directly to the wiper motor. Remove the three small screws that hold a black plastic cover on the wiper motor. The pulse board is under that cover. Most of your wiper motor problems are from a faulty pulse board.
Very Carefully
Fire, or power, to the wiper motor in a 1985 s10 Blazer comes from the battery, through the wiper switch and to the motor. Check the switch, fuse, and all connections to find the loss of power.
# Turn the wiper on # Check it # You're finish, now enjoy the day with ice cream :D
Broken or disconnected wiper transmission (linkage)?
it is on the wiper motor unplug wires unscrew cover and it pops out gos back in just the same
Most all wiper motor problems can be cured by replacing the pulse board only. The pulse board is available at your local auto parts store and can be changed easily from under the hood without removing the wiper motor.
if it is a new style s10 they had a common problem of the wiper control module going bad and intermittenly quiting. the module is located underneath the wiper motor cover.
