Product Details and Features
This wiper motor features blade-type terminals for secure electrical connections and mounts using two grommet-style holes, ensuring a stable fit in the Jeep Cherokee. It is remanufactured to provide a cost-effective alternative to new motors while maintaining quality and performance. The motor is compatible with vehicles equipped with moisture sensors that monitor rainfall accumulation on the windshield, allowing for automatic wiper adjustments.

Common Issues Addressed by This Wiper Motor
- Wiper motor failure causing intermittent or no wiper movement
- Wipers stopping mid-swipe or not returning to the park position
- Incompatibility with moisture sensor systems leading to erratic wiper behavior
- Wear and tear from prolonged use affecting wiper performance

Installation Notes and Tips
Installation requires removal of the old wiper motor and careful alignment of the new motor using the two grommet mounting holes. Ensure blade-type terminals are securely connected to avoid electrical issues. If your Jeep Cherokee is equipped with a moisture sensor, verify sensor compatibility and proper wiring during installation. Retain your existing washer pump as this motor does not include one. Follow the included instruction sheet for detailed guidance.
