Wiring for Dome Light AND Electric Wiper

I have a 1929 Fordor (60-C) and I have a dome light and an electric wiper. I'm trying to find out whether there were originally one or two wires that go through the clips under the gas tank, along the inside of the cowl and firewall on their way to the terminal box. I want to make this correct to how it was originally.


There have been posts showing pictures of the electric wiper wiring in this area and diagrams showing dome light wiring, but I don't know if I should have two wires under the gas tank or if the dome light and wiper were spliced into a single wire that ran to the terminal block. Also, if there are separate wires, what color should the dome light wire be. Thanks in advance for any help.
 
Look in the Ford Service Bulletins date October 1928 for a drawing on page 291 of the wiring for dome light and electric wiper motor.

See June 1929 for another picture, page 356.

I don't know the wire colors.


HTH.
 
Thank you Jim. I've seen these photos and I don't think page 291 applies to my 60-C since the switch in integrated into the light. I think the wiring under the tank should be similar to page 356 but the diagram doesn't make it clear whether there are one or two wires running through the clips/grommets. I was hoping this information existed somewhere or someone had an original example.
 
Russ,
I hope you don't mind me bringing this subject back up. But I am in the same situation. My car almost looks like one wire running from the terminal box to the wiper, and then a wire tapped into the bakelite terminal on the wiper and running diagonal across the roof to the door post where the switch is located.
Anyone have any information on this?
Looks like Russ's question was never answered, so if you see this Russ, how did you solve the problem
Thanks again,
Kevin

Kevin - This is the way my unmolested Murray '30 Town Sedan is wired, and I have no reason to suspect it was not original. If you need pictures let me know, I believe that wiring is still in the car (haven't gotten to that in the resto yet!)
 
Jay, Thanks for the reply, my car has only part of the original wiring, but it looks like that's the way it was wired. So that is what I am going with as well,
Thanks again
