Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle uses the rear wiper motor application listed above before ordering. If the wipers do not park correctly after installation, check crank arm position on the motor shaft and reset it to the proper park angle using a vehicle-specific service procedure. If the vehicle uses a moisture-sensitive wiper system, verify the rain sensor and control module operation before replacing the motor. Bench test the wiper motor and washer pump before installation when diagnosing a no-operation concern, since a defective washer pump can prevent operation on some systems.
