Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle is equipped with the rear wiper motor application listed above before ordering. This motor does not include a washer pump, and some vehicles will not operate the motor correctly if the washer pump circuit is faulty. If the wipers stop in the middle of the glass or do not park at the bottom, inspect crank arm position and follow the vehicle service manual for the hidden park reset procedure if equipped. Bench test the wiper motor and washer pump before replacing either component.
