Function and Features
This 12V electric motor transmits torque through an internal reduction gearset to drive the rear wiper linkage and arm. It restores the parking position and intermittent wiping function as controlled by the vehicle’s wiper system. The unit is designed to match original mounting points for a straightforward swap with the factory assembly.
Common Faults and Lifespan
Typical failure modes include worn motor brushes, corrosion and water ingress, stripped reduction gears, or electrical issues such as connector corrosion and blown fuses. Lifespan depends on usage, climate and exposure to road salt; heavy use or frequent wet-road conditions accelerate wear.
Replacement Guide
Basic replacement steps: securely park the vehicle and mark the wiper arm parked position; remove the rear wiper arm; open the tailgate trim to access the motor; disconnect the electrical connector; unbolt and remove the motor; fit the replacement motor, reconnect and test operation before reassembling trim and arm. Ensure fasteners are tightened securely and the wiper parks correctly after installation.
