Just bought a Cherokee and need wiring help

Hi! I recently bought a 93 Cherokee Sport. I'm finding out quickly that the variety of parts for Cherokees is insane! I went to the wrecking yard and picked up a replacement rear wiper motor only to find out that it has a 3 wire connector and my Cherokee has a 4 wire connector. Can I still use the 3 wire motor and if so, how to I connect the wires?

Cheers!
John

Maybe this will help? On the motor with 4 pins, the wire colors are black, gray, brown and white. The 3 pin motor has blue, black and white wires.

Most likely it's the motor. Did u pull it off another Cherokee. Or a newer one. Or they give it too you most likely it's off a newer one. It will not work anps may be more then circuit is allowed. You will low fuses or worst fire
