Still unsure of a seat mover or going full rig?

i have. this is the one with the strange plug separate from the other two.

this me pointing to the wire with a small screw driver.

Do you have a multimeter? If so check which wire has continuity with the case then cut that one

From the photo it looks as though the one you're pointing to is the earth difficult to make out don't be afraid to take it apart there isn't much to it

they all do. im just spinning my tires.

Dude I suggest you dismantle the whole motor just to make sense of it for yourself

ive been looking at a lot of other photos and seems the ground is on the opposite side of a brush and assuming that there all labeled blue then i guess that will be the one. thanks for the help.

c1 and c2 are the slow and fast speed on the motor. leaves only the last to be the ground. the one i cut was the ground so i now? solder a wire and of the frame and? ground it to the power supply with a fuse in between and with a kill switch.

there should be no continuity between c1 and the motor case and or c2 and the motor case but.... there is. if there was a short it would not let the motor run but does. im missing siomething

I think you might be confusing grounding with ac current? the dc circuit in a car will use the cars chassis as it's negative terminal therefore anything the bolts to the car chassis uses it as negative terminal this is an called an open circuit

You need to make a closed circuit the reason you have continuity is because the earth brush wire will be directly connected to the motor casing this is where you cut the brush wire then directly from the brush join a wire to it

The reason the other wire c1 or c2 will also have continuity is because they are connected through the armature via brushes as soon as you isolate the earth the other will automatically be isolated

i agree , working on that right now

so then i should not be cutting wires and rerouting the circuit? i don't know? Ive been reading that it was so important to rewire and following those who have done this before me. Ive got this issue im trying to resolve with answer from others that i wasn't aware that i had. i don't want to have my power supply to fry along with 90 % of the knock offs from china on these circuit boards over heating and catching on fire with me having a wooden rig. lol. i should not have cut the wire i guess, right? to late.....
ive got to fix it now. "yay me" as my kid would say

Im not sure that im getting all your emails in order?
anyway. soldered the wire back together. think im going to wait...... until i get all the parts together and do some intensive testing. if i start popping fuses then i will look into the problem as the circuit might be the issue.

The motors will spin no matter which 2 brushes are connected to 12v. You are correct it's the opposite brushes you connect up just make sure they are insulated. You are right to cut the earth wire and reroute it thats the only thing to do so don't over think it. Also take a photo of the wiring before switching on the power i will let you know if I see anything wrong
