It is designed for 1995-2005 Chevrolet Blazer, 1995-2005 GMC Jimmy, and 1996-2001 Oldsmobile Bravada models. The motor uses stronger gear material to reduce premature wear, stripping, and breakage, while load testing helps verify dependable operation before installation.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Rear wiper motor failure or no movement
• Wipers stopping mid-sweep on the rear glass
• Slow or inconsistent rear wiper operation
• Gear wear, stripping, or broken internal drive components
• Poor parking position caused by a worn motor or linkage condition

Installation Notes and Tips

Use the included instruction manual during installation. This motor mounts with a direct bolt pattern and uses blade terminals. The washer pump is not included, so confirm the vehicle’s washer system separately before replacement. If the wipers do not park correctly after installation, inspect the crank arm position on the motor shaft and reset it according to the vehicle service procedure. If the system still does not operate, bench test the wiper motor and washer pump to isolate the fault.
