• Intermittent rear wiper operation
• Wipers stopping mid-sweep
• Parking position issues after motor wear or linkage strain
• Noise from worn internal gears

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle uses a rear wiper motor with blade terminals and eyelet/grommet mounting before installation. If the wipers stop in the middle of the glass or do not park correctly, inspect the crank arm position and linkage alignment during replacement. If the vehicle uses a moisture-sensitive wiper system, verify the rain sensor and control module operation before replacing the motor. Bench test the wiper motor and washer pump before installation when diagnosing an inoperative system, since some systems will not run if the washer pump has failed. The package includes the wiper motor and instruction manual.
