Fitment And Application
Designed for the rear tailgate of Citroën C8 and Peugeot 807 vehicles. Fits as the standard motor for the rear wiper mechanism in these models — check the part numbers against existing unit numbers when searching. Ideal for replacing motors that fail to move, park incorrectly, or run intermittently.
Function And Typical Faults
The rear wiper motor converts electrical input into rotary/reciprocating motion to drive the wiper linkage and arm across the rear glass. Typical failure modes include:
- Water Ingress And Corrosion: Seal degradation lets moisture reach the motor and gearbox, causing corrosion and electrical shorts.
- Worn Brushes Or Commutator Wear: Loss of electrical contact reduces torque or stops the motor.
- Mechanical Seizure: Linkage or gearbox wear, or debris buildup, prevents free rotation.
- Electrical Issues Upstream: Blown fuses, faulty relay, damaged wiring or connector corrosion can mimic motor failure.
Replacement And Installation Recommendations
Recommended For: Professional Mechanics And Competent DIYers. Basic Replacement Steps:
- Park Vehicle Securely And Disconnect Battery Before Starting Work.
- Remove Rear Tailgate Trim Panel To Access The Wiper Motor And Linkage.
- Remove The Wiper Arm (Mark Park Position) And Detach Any Linkage Clips Or Bolts.
- Disconnect Electrical Connector And Any Washer Hose If Present.
- Unbolt The Motor From The Tailgate, Transfer Any Required Linkage Components To The New Motor.
- Install New Motor, Reconnect Electrical Connector, Refit Linkage And Wiper Arm, Then Reconnect Battery And Test Operation—Check Park Position And Full Sweep.
- Reassemble Trim Panel And Verify Water Tightness Around Mounting Area.
Practical Tips: Inspect The Wiper Linkage And Arm For Excessive Play Before Installation. Clean And Dry The Mounting Area To Reduce The Risk Of Future Corrosion. If The Washer Jet Connection (6405L0) Is Missing And You Require Washer Function, Fit The Correct Connector Separately.
Why This Part Fails Most Often
Rear wiper motors are frequently exposed to weather and road debris. The main reasons for failure are prolonged exposure to moisture leading to corrosion and electrical shorts, mechanical wear in the gearbox or linkage, and accumulated dirt that increases load on the motor. Intermittent operation often indicates beginning brush or commutator wear, while complete loss of movement can point to seized gears or broken internal components.
Diagnosis Advice
- Check Fuse And Relay First — These Are Common And Easy To Replace.
- Confirm Power At The Connector With A Multimeter To Distinguish Between Electrical And Mechanical Faults.
- Manually Move The Linkage To Verify Free Movement — Resistance Suggests Mechanical Seizure.
Why Choose This Replacement
Replacing a failing rear wiper motor with a correct-fit unit restores rear visibility and safety. Part numbers 53015412, 1484603080 and 6405K9 are commonly used search terms that help mechanics and DIYers find the correct part quickly. The motor is a practical and cost-effective repair compared with full tailgate or linkage replacement when faults are isolated to the motor.
