Default Wiring up automatic wipers

Dear All
BigRuss kindly switched on my automatic wipers and, today, I attempted to wire them up. I followed the wiring of the white plug in the side of the dash as per the great instructions on this forum, I wired up the earth under the interior light but when I went to plug in the pins, there was a black wire in postion 11. I was presuming this was the redundant earth wire. I depinned this and put the three other wires in locations 9, 10 and 11. Reconnected the plug and tried it out, nothing worked, including the self dimming mirror. Looking down at the male white socket, their seems to be a missing wire plugged into this end of the socket.
Took out all the wires and put the black wire back in position 11 and the mirror started working.
Any suggestions will be really welcome. The car is a 2003 mk1
Best wishes
Bob
