Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle uses the rear wiper motor application listed above before installation. This unit does not include a washer pump. If the rear wiper stops in the wrong position, inspect the crank arm alignment on the motor shaft and follow the vehicle-specific hidden park reset procedure when required. If the washer system is part of the circuit, bench test the wiper motor and washer pump before replacing either component.

For moisture-sensitive systems, verify the vehicle’s rain sensor and control module operation before diagnosing the motor. Use the included instruction manual and a service manual for the exact removal and alignment steps on your Hyundai Santa Fe.
