You have to remove the linkage from the wiper motor.
Its your linkage, not your motor.
A wiper motor cannot just be installed, you must also adjust the linkage. With the wiper motor in place and the linkage disconnected, turn the wiper motor ON briefly while you watch the motion of the motor shaft, then turn it off and let it seek it's natural "park" location. Now operate the wipers manually by moving the linkage, and before you connect the linkage to the motor, make sure the linkage is in the right position and will operate properly.
Remove wiper arm caps, nuts & arms. Remove cowl louver cover. Disconnect wiper motor electrical connector. Remove 6 bolts and remove wiper linkage assembly. Disconnect wiper link from wiper motor. Remove 4 screws and wiper motor from firewall.
Broken linkage? Disconeccted linkage? EDIT::: The most likely cause is a bad wiper control module, its attached to the wiper motor
If one wants to replace a wiper linkage there are a few steps involved. Pull the wiper arm away from the windshield until the arm locks in vertical position. Unbolt the nut that holds the wiper arm to the linkage and pull the wiper arm off the linkage. Open the hood and unbolt the wiper motor and slide the motor off of the linkage. One then will remove the wiper linkage and install a new one.
Yes, there is.
You need to remove the wiper motor and linkage assembly. Then disconnect the motor from the linkage, and turn on the wipers, to see if the motor is running or not. Then when you have the linkage out, manaully move back and forth to see if its binding or not. Usually a bad motor. Unfortunately, MB seems to have many problems with the wiper blade motors.
In many cars, there is only a single wiper motor. One wiper arm is attached directly to the wiper motor and the other through a linkage. If one is working, the motor is operating but the connection to the other may be broken.
Remove the wiring harness from the wiper motor. Remove the wiper arm linkage. Remove the wiper motor retaining bolts. Reverse the process to install the new wiper motor.
no you have to remove all of it remember to mark the motor shaft and linkage positions
The wiper motor is on the high side of the passenger firewall in the engine bay. It is silver and has a large black cylindrical shape piece on the side. It has 3 bolts securing it to the firewall and one nut on the backside securing the wiper linkage.
