Testing the wiper motor

I just reinstalled my 2 speed wiper motor and I "think" the linkage is back on the same way it came off.  Of course, if I'm wrong and I activate the wipers I may end up with a busted cowl sooo I'm thinking I should remove the wipers and put power to the motor to make sure it works as it should.   So how do I go about doing that when there's no wiring under the hood at this time?  Can I just use a battery and some alligator clips or should I hook up the wiper harness and put power to the switch?

My instrument cluster is out but I have no ammeter so no loose wires there.  It won't take much to reinstall the bulkhead connector that's just hanging under the dash and reinstall the maxi fuse that feeds the cabin.

I used alligator clips with a battery to test mine. If you want to be sure everything works right, try this link.

Perfect!  Thank you!   :cheers:

Is there a tool to remove the wipers themselves?  I know I have to push the little clip aside but they will not disengage and I'm trying not to damage anything.
