Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm rear-position fitment before installation. Fits 2001-2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser, rear; 2001-2003 Chrysler Town & Country, rear; 2001-2003 Chrysler Voyager, rear; 2001-2003 Dodge Caravan, rear; 2001-2003 Dodge Grand Caravan, rear; and 2001-2002 Chrysler Grand Voyager, rear. 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 the vehicle service procedure. For moisture-sensitive systems, verify the rain sensor and washer pump condition before replacing the motor, since some systems will not operate correctly if the washer pump is defective.
