Hi Bill, You will have to remove the cowl vent below the windshield to remove the retainer clip that holds the wiper transmission linkage to the motor.(first picture) Then you will have to remove the rubber windshield washer pump hoses from the pump (on the motor) Then you will remove the three electrical connectors from the motor, remembering which one connected to which terminals and what the color locations are..(second picture) then you remove the three mounting screws and remove the motor. It may be stuck to the firewall because of the thick pad between the motor and the firewall. Pry on it a little if you have to but have a good grip on the motor or it will fall on the floor. (or your head) You can see one of the mounting screws in the second picture. All three screws mount through a small rubber isolator. The screws are a special tapered head screw so don't lose them. Reverse procedure to re-install. LockDoc

No. If the connectors are not connected as shown the motor will not work. Yellow wires are power, Light Blue, Dark Blue, and Black are grounds that all go to the wiper switch. LockDoc

Re: wiper motor removal
Does the motor come out from inside? Stand on my head to do it,,,,LOL? Or should I just lube it real good. It still works good.

Yes, comes out from the inside. If you get a heavy moving blanket and lay it on the floor it is a lot more comfortable.... LockDoc

Re: wiper motor removal
Thanks Doc, I had no doubt that the picture you posted was correct. I saw a picture with the pump wires reversed and wondered if that would also work. You and Vet Vet are the wiring gurus on this site and we are lucky to have you. I have gotten deeper into wiring on this project than most of my prior ones. I have learned a lot from this site and wiring diagrams, although I have found some diagrams out there with errors. It's good to have a source to verify. Keep up your postings they are appreciated!

Working on my truck today I noticed with the dash cluster removed there is good access to the wiper motor. Last edited by SwitchbladeII; 03-13-2020 at 02:43 PM. |
