Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle application before installation: Fits 1995 Nissan Altima, front, and Fits 1996 Nissan Altima, front, before 02/1996. This unit is for vehicles without washer pump compatibility. If the wipers do not park correctly and the vehicle does not use hidden wiper blades, check crank arm position on the motor shaft and reset it according to the service procedure. If the original system includes a moisture-sensitive wiper setup, confirm the rain sensor and control module operation before replacing the motor. If the motor does not operate after installation, bench test the wiper motor and washer pump together, since some systems will not run if the washer pump has failed.
