Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle is a 1997-2001 Cadillac Catera, front application before installation. This motor uses a direct bolt mount and blade terminals. If the vehicle has a hidden-park setup, parking alignment may depend on crank arm position; adjust the crank arm angle on the motor shaft as needed using vehicle-specific service information. If the original system includes a washer pump interaction concern, bench test the wiper motor and washer pump before replacing either component. Washer pump is not included.
