I'm having a problem with my wipers so I was under the dash looking at some stuff (like I know what I'm looking at). I found a few things that aren't connected to anything and I found one green box. What are these?

Green Box:



Connector above the green box:



Thanks for any help.

When you post pictures of electrical wiring, always post the year model of your car along with the wire colors including the color stripe on the wires. The wiring color codes are a clue to the wire function. A list of the colors is helpful along with the pin to color assignment. The connector shells always have a letter or number on the shell for each pin.
Example:
connector pin A= blue/white
connector pin B = red/green

Ford changed the color for some wires in 91, so that's why the year model is important.

Also show an extra picture of the non wire side of the connector so that we can see the connector shape and how many pins are in the connector. That helps identify the circuit function since most of the connector shapes are unique to the circuit they serve.

No problem. I'll get more pictures tomorrow along with a list of colors and pins. Unfortunately its already dark here.

Any idea about the green box? It has a connector on it right now. I can get a list of wire colors tomorrow.

Also, my car is an 88 gt.

I'm pretty sure that the top pic is the windshield wiper governor. Looks like at least one of the mounting ears is broken off
