FAQ_Q1 The wiper motor continues to stop in the middle of the windshield. What’s causing this to happen?
FAA_A1 If the motor does not have hidden wiper blades, the most likely cause of parking misalignment is the crank arm position. Adjust the crank arm angle on the motor shaft to park wipers at bottom of windshield. Refer to a vehicle specific service manual or online material for the “hidden park” reset procedure.
FAQ_Q2 I just installed a new wiper motor and put my old washer pump on and the motor does not work. Is the motor defective?
FAA_A2 The motor is NOT defective. There are some wiper motors that will not operate if the washer pump is defective. This may be the cause of the original motor problem. Bench test wiper motor and washer pump before replacing either.
FAQ_Q3 Why won’t the wiper motor work? I have everything hooked up properly.
FAA_A3 Check the wiring harness ground, terminal ground lug or ground strap. If the motor still does not operate properly, check the switch and switch circuit.
FAQ_Q4 How can I determine if my vehicle is equipped with a moisture sensitive wiper motor?
FAA_A4 Most vehicles equipped with this feature have a rain sensor permanently mounted to the inside of the windshield in front of the rear view mirror.
FAQ_Q5 How do moisture sensitive wipers work?
FAA_A5 A moisture sensor monitors rainfall accumulation on the windshield and provides input to the windshield wiper motor control module. The windshield wiper control module adjusts the wiper motor speed accordingly.
