I dont quite understand why its turning faster after shorting both the speed (low, high) wires and dint turn normally for one speed wire and turned normally for another speed wire when these were connected individually. here is the video showing the increase in speed, youtube.com/watch?v=JaaZfPIh1x0 | |

It looks like the two terminals circled in red (in the initial picture I posted) are for speed control. When I connect positive to the right circled (in the picture I posted initially) blue wired terminal, the motor rotates normally like at 45rpm. But when I connect positive to the left circled (in the picture I posted initially) blue wired terminal, voltage drops and the behavior is exactly same as in this video, youtu.be/rQwMDVhmZQo | |
