Technical Information
- Manufacturer: Bosch
- Model: Peugeot 407 (Right Front Wiper Motor, Passenger Side)
- Product Codes: 9661812080, 0390241969
- Additional Numbers: 3397020876, 6405GP, 6405GQ
Compatibility And Application
Intended primarily for Peugeot 407 models (production years approximately 2004–2011) as the passenger-side front windshield wiper motor. Check the listed product codes when searching to confirm match with your vehicle equipment and mounting arrangement. This motor is supplied as a direct replacement for the original BOSCH fitted unit and matches the electrical connector and mounting points used on the factory assembly.
Function And Performance
The motor converts electrical input into rotational motion to drive the wiper linkage for the right (passenger) front wiper. It ensures correct park position, supports intermittent and variable wipe rates commanded by the vehicle’s wiper switch/timer, and delivers the torque necessary to move the blade across the glass under normal load conditions. Robust brush and gear design provide long service life in typical operating environments.
Why This Part Fails
Common causes of failure include:
- Water Ingress And Corrosion: Seals and housing corrosion can allow moisture into the motor, causing electrical faults or mechanical binding.
- Worn Brushes Or Commutator Wear: Over many years of use the brushes and commutator can wear, reducing electrical contact and motor torque.
- Seized Linkage Or Excess Load: Frozen wipers, damaged linkages, or seized pivot points increase load on the motor and can burn out the armature or gearbox.
- Damaged Electrical Connector Or Wiring: Corroded pins or broken wires interrupt supply to the motor.
Recommended Replacement Interval
There is no fixed interval for replacement. In normal conditions these motors commonly last many years but often show faults after 8–15 years depending on climate, usage frequency, and exposure to road salt or moisture. Replace when the motor exhibits intermittent operation, reduced speed/torque, grinding noises, or fails to park correctly.
Installation Recommendations
Recommended steps for professional or competent DIY installation:
- Disconnect The Battery: Always disconnect the negative terminal before working on electrical components.
- Remove Wiper Arms: Mark the park positions, then remove the wiper arms from their splines.
- Remove Cowl/Trim: Detach the plastic cowl or access cover to expose the motor and linkage assembly.
- Unplug Electrical Connector: Carefully release the multi-pin connector to avoid damage.
- Unbolt Motor From Linkage: Support the linkage while removing mounting bolts; note orientation for reassembly.
- Transfer Any Linkage Components If Required: Some designs require transferring an eccentric or pivot; keep track of shims and spacers.
- Fit New Motor And Reconnect: Reinstall motor, tighten fasteners to original spec, reconnect electrical plug and re-seat the cowl.
- Test And Calibrate Park Position: Reconnect the battery, run the wipers through a full cycle to confirm correct sweep and parking. Adjust wiper arm positions if necessary.
Use common-sense precautions: protect paintwork and trim during removal, and ensure connectors are fully seated. If linkage shows excessive wear or play, replace linkage components to avoid premature motor failure.
