Product Details and Features

The motor uses blade-type terminals for straightforward electrical connections and mounts directly with bolts and grommets, simplifying installation. Note that this unit does not include a washer pump, so the existing pump can be retained if functional. The package includes the wiper motor and an instruction manual to assist with installation.
Common Issues Addressed by This Wiper Motor
- Wiper motor failure causing intermittent or no wiper movement
- Wiper blades stopping mid-sweep on the windshield
- Malfunctioning moisture sensor wiper systems
- Inconsistent wiper speeds or non-responsive wiper controls
- Replacement for worn or damaged original wiper motors on Chevrolet Aura, Pontiac G6, and Saturn Malibu
Installation Notes and Tips
Installation requires removing the old wiper motor and mounting this unit using the direct bolt and grommet system. Ensure blade-type terminals are properly connected to avoid electrical issues. If your vehicle has a moisture sensor, verify sensor operation after installation. The existing washer pump can remain in place if it is functioning correctly, as this motor does not include a washer pump.
