• Slow, erratic, or intermittent front wiper operation
• Motor noise caused by worn internal bearings or gear wear
• Loss of wiping performance after electrical or internal motor failure

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1994-1997 Ford Aspire, front. Confirm the vehicle uses the correct front wiper motor configuration before installation. If the vehicle has hidden park wipers, crank arm position may need to be adjusted to restore proper park alignment. If the motor does not operate after installation, inspect the washer pump and related wiring, since some systems will not run the motor when the washer pump is defective. Bench testing the wiper motor and washer pump before replacement can help isolate the fault.
