Before installation, verify the vehicle uses the listed wiper configuration and confirm the crank arm position if the wipers do not park correctly. If the system includes a washer pump-related electrical dependency, bench test the wiper motor and washer pump before replacing either component. The motor uses a blade terminal and mounts with eyelet and grommet points.
