Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle has a fixed rear window and no washer pump on the motor before installation. If the wipers do not park correctly after replacement, inspect the crank arm position on the motor shaft and reset it according to the vehicle service procedure. For moisture-sensitive systems, verify the rain sensor and control module operation separately, since those components can affect wiper behavior. If the original motor failed after washer pump issues, bench test both components before replacing either one.
