Default Understanding 74 vette wiring diagram

Hello,
Ordered complete wiring diagram for 74 vette and so far it has been a great help. However, I'm not sure how to read the "junction" blocks on the diagram. For example, tracing the dk blu-18 from the w/s wiper motor the lead terminates into a "junction" block along with 13 other leads each assigned a number, The one I'm tracing was labeled 94. Also, I guess the -18 is the wire gage. I don't know how to pick-up the dk blu-18 except to look thru every other junction block for number 94 or scan each page looking for dk blu-18 or both. If I find another dk bl-18 it may be related to the wiper motor or something else, so I have to trace it back to another junction block to see if it is number 94 also. Got to be a better way to find where a wire terminates instead of searching each block. I am use to tracing from point a to point b. I need a point to point diagram if such a creature exist. HELP PLEASE
Thanks

The junction blocks are drawn as if you are looking at each connector's face; imagine turning one of them around and plugging it into the other, the pin positions are exactly opposite of each other.

For example, if you had a 4 pin junction block, and were looking at the face of both connectors, one would be pinned like this:

-1-2-3-4-

and the other would be pinned like this:

-4-3-2-1-

When you plug them together, the pins are correctly matched.

Hope this helps.

Default You sure the motors good?

91 black =windshield wiper-low
92 light blue=windshield wiper-high
93 yellow = wiper motor feed
94 dark blue= switch turn on washer

You can test the motor first and then get to the switch

Default About the switch

Next check for continuity from each motor connector to the same color at the switch end.
If thats good no point in unraveling all your wiring.
