Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s washer pump condition before replacing the motor, since some systems will not operate if the washer pump has failed. If the wipers do not park correctly and the vehicle does not use hidden wiper blades, check crank arm position on the motor shaft and reset the park angle as needed using a vehicle-specific service manual. Confirm the terminal type, grommet mounting, and front application before installation.
