how many wires are there and how do they come out of the motor, is there a plug or just wires to be hooked up, are there wiring instuctions? thanks

There is no plug. Wires are color coded. The wires just come out of the back of the motor. It took me half a day to do this project. I used this motor for my Class C RV air conditioner and worked great.

The wires were color coded, plus the wires that went to spade connections came with the terminals on them. I made a quick drawing (on the unit) as to where everything was before I pulled the old motor out. It took me longer to get the nasty plastic cover off the unit than it took me to replace this motor. Start to finish in about an hour. Motor was in a Coleman rooftop AC unit on a old motorhome. If I remember correctly, there was a wiring diagram on the new motor.

There should be 6 wires , one is common, two capacitor, one for each speed, and a ground. Its been a while since i installed it but i do know that the wires dont have plug ins. they are just wires. if you are replacing an old motor,most of the time the color codes match up . I hope this helps. Be sure to discharge the capacitor or you could be in for a real shock.

3 connections? It had 1 plug in...not sure how many wires were in it. What kind of vehicle is this for?

The motor does not come with a power cord. You'll have to buy one at a store such as Home Depot or Lowes. The power cord should be a three wire cord rated at 15 Amps and I crimped some slip on conductors to push on to the tabs under the connector cover. The motor I bought had a wiring diagram and I followed the diagram.

I just received mine and there was no wiring. Only a pig-tail wire with connector to hook the wiring into it. I am looking into buying a wiring kit so that I can install it.

Could be the connection between the motor and screw drive. Check instillation manuel for picture of connection.

Just got mine set up, used a 10 gauge wire (3 wire, solid copper) to a 30 amp breaker, works great. The motor is rated for 23 amps on the machine so 30 should be plenty of power, plus its only 230v.

Motor & wiring with 8 gage wire and spade fittings, owners manual provided. You will need: 24 volt system (2 -12v batteries in series (w/8 gage wire), boxes, room in boat), circuit breaker(s)w/ many different setups, secure transom mount that won't damage boat; optional quick connect fittings for batteries, wing nuts(?), charging system (w/its own many options - onboard is better). Maintaining the batteries is a big job with this motor. If backtrolling, turn motor head around. Comfortable place to sit and operate motor and optional neck brace and seat belts for quick surges! See MinnKota web site for more. You're just getting started, bud. But it does have the power for my 17 ft Fisher!

This motor does NOT come wired to be plugged in to a wall socket. You hardwire it in to a circuit in a typical application such as the furnace blower application I purchased it for.

this is just the motor. you have to connect it to a circuit with a battery and a switch. you can do it by welding wire to the motor and then connecting the wire as usual. It will run as long as the battery lasts or until switched off.

Does what have 8 wires? The unit itself has no wires but does use a (not included but available seprately) 3 wire cable to connect the motor unit to the controller.

Wish I could help but have no clue. It sounds "electrical", possibly a loose wire or a short. Do you know someone (like a teenager) who has some technical skills and a few test devices? You could call a B&D service center and see if they would do anything despite the warranty time limit or just to get an idea of the cost of repairs. As a last resort, take the motor housing apart (carefully and with your procedural memory engaged) and check for clues (wires, connections, burn marks, fuse). Hopefully you will find something (and be able to reverse the taking-apart procedure). If not, well, it could be a lost cause. At least, if it were me, it would be. Let us know how it turns out.

Yes it does have wires but I had to cut the wires that was on the old motor and splice thems to the new motor wires.

The motor came wired with a pigtail hanging out of the motor with a plug on the end.

When I changed the motor I needed to remove the heater,fan and light assembly from the can in the ceiling. The next is to remove the fan from the frame this is done by removing the three screws that hold the mounting plate to the frame. Then remove the fan from the motor. This is done by removing the allan screw buried in the fan blades and sliding the fan off the shaft. Then remove the two screws that hold the motor to the frame. I can't remember if the wires are on a plug or wire nuts. I hope this helps

It should be pretty simple. Just follow the wiring diagram. If you do not have a timer on it now I assume your pump/motor is wiring from a junction box. You will disconnect the feed wires from the wires to the pump/motor. The Feed wires will connect to the L1 & L2 terminals and the wires going to the pump/motor will connect where it shows on the diagram. That is the basic wiring for the typical set up.

There are two wires to connect to the motor. They may be installed in either polarity to run the DC motor in either direction.

I do not recall as I purchased the motor for someone else. What does stand out from what remember is it seem like it was ran and not like new. It had minor damage not shipping related. Sorry I couldn't be more of a help, good luck!
