• Intermittent or slow rear wiper movement
• Wipers stopping mid-sweep or failing to park correctly
• Electrical wear inside the motor assembly
• Reduced rear visibility caused by failed wiper operation

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm rear application and connector style before installation. If the wiper motor does not operate after replacement, inspect the washer pump circuit as some systems will not run the motor if the washer pump is defective. If the wipers stop in the middle of the windshield, check crank arm position and parking alignment. For moisture-sensitive systems, verify whether the vehicle uses a rain sensor mounted inside the windshield near the rearview mirror.
