What It Helps Fix

• Inoperative front windshield wipers
• Intermittent or slow wiper motor operation
• Wipers stopping in the middle of the windshield
• Poor park position after replacement
• Noise or drag caused by worn internal motor components

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm that the vehicle is equipped with the correct non-washer-pump motor before installation. For hidden park systems, crank arm position can affect park alignment; reset the crank arm angle on the motor shaft if the wipers do not park at the bottom of the windshield. If the original issue involved the washer pump, bench test both the wiper motor and washer pump before replacing parts.

Compatible with 2014 Mazda 3 and Mazda 3 Sport front applications that exclude washer pump compatibility, 2015-2017 Mazda 3 and Mazda 3 Sport front applications with motor without washer pump, and 2018 Mazda 3 and Mazda 3 Sport front applications built to chassis #170711.
