Installation Notes and Tips

Installation requires removing the old wiper motor and securing the new motor using the three direct bolt mounting holes. Ensure the blade terminals are properly connected to avoid electrical issues. This motor is compatible with vehicles that may have moisture sensors; however, verify sensor functionality separately. The package includes an instruction sheet to assist with installation.
