Function And Typical Faults
The rear wiper motor provides rotary drive to the rear wiper arm through a gearbox and linkage, converting electrical input into controlled wiping motion. Typical reasons for failure include:
- Water Ingress And Corrosion: Seals and casing corrosion allow moisture to reach internal components, causing electrical faults or gear damage.
- Mechanical Wear: Worn brushes, bearings, or gears reduce torque and eventually cause failure.
- Overload From Frozen Or Jammed Wiper Arm: External obstruction or frozen blades can overload the motor and damage the gearbox or motor windings.
- Connector Or Wiring Issues: Corroded connectors or damaged wiring can cause intermittent operation or complete loss of function.
Service Life: There is no fixed interval for replacement; motors commonly last many years but may fail earlier if exposed to heavy use, harsh climates, or mechanical strain.
Installation Recommendations
Recommended for installation by professional technicians or experienced DIYers. Typical replacement steps:
- Remove Rear Wiper Arm: Pry off the retaining cap and unbolt the wiper arm from the spline.
- Remove Interior Tailgate Trim: Access the motor by removing the tailgate inner trim panel—keep fasteners organized for reassembly.
- Disconnect Electrical Connector: Carefully unplug the motor connector and inspect for corrosion or damage.
- Unbolt Motor Assembly: Remove mounting bolts and take out the motor and gearbox assembly.
- Fit Replacement Unit: Install the new motor, secure mounting bolts, reconnect the electrical connector, and replace the trim.
- Set Wiper Arm Position: Refit the wiper arm on the spline in the correct park position and tighten to the specified torque.
- Functional Check: Test the wiper operation through several wipe cycles to confirm correct movement and park position.
Practical Tips: Inspect the wiper linkage and arm for play or damage while replacing the motor. Replace worn blades and ensure the tailgate seals prevent future water ingress. If the motor does not run, check the fuse and wiring before replacing the unit.
Why Replace This Part
Replacing a faulty rear wiper motor restores clear rear visibility and ensures safe reversing in rain or snow. Prompt replacement avoids further damage to the linkage and prevents intermittent failures that can occur at inconvenient times.
