    I am starting with the motors, I need help with the connections and how to isolate their mass since it is different from the ones I have seen, I need to know what the cables are and where to connect them.
    I disassembled the black part, but it cannot be put back together, luckily I have two

    Hi marco

    I think the yellow and green wire are for the motor.
    The other wires (red, white and black) are possibly for position detection as a whiper to switch the motor oposit direction.
    You will not need these wires.

    Do you have a multimeter?
    Measure the resistance between case of the motor and the yellow and green line.
    If there is no connection, you can put ground/shild on the case.

    cheers
