The wiper motor is located on right rear of engine, hood up. Remove old wiper and replace before tightening the bolts test their location to mount.
Rear wiper blade will not turn but the motor will. Flip open the cap at the end of the blade, at the center of the wiper motor. Tighten the 10mm nut until you have achieved a snug fit. Test the rear wiper and it should now work. You just saved yourself a tip and money going to the dealer.
screen wash pump working fine but rear wiper wont work.
Blown fuse, bad relay, bad wiring or connection, burnt out wiper motor... could be any of those. Before you can fix it, you need to diagnose it. Check the fuses for power, test the relays for resistance. If you don't find your problem there, get a trim puller and remove the trim from the rear door. Disconnect the wiper motor. Check the wiring for power at the ends, then test the wiper motor for resistance. If the wiper motor shows no resistance, it needs to be replaced.
Under the left rear quarter panel above the muffler. It almost takes some contorsionist work to get it out, but it's mountedright behind the panel. Anybody know how to test the motor?
The first step is finding what the issue is. Check the fuse to the motor. If you have access to a volt meter or test light, check to make sure that the motor is getting power when the switch is on. If power is there then the motor needs to be replaced.
set motor in a vice hook up a good grond wire hook up a power wire to the pos side of where the wires attach then using a test lightyou can check rest of poles to see what is getting pthen using the power wire you can touch it to different poles to see what speeds are working note that bench testing a wiper motor ,tests with no load the wiper motor may appear to be good in this test,but not be good when installed with wiper blades attached and adding load to the motor From Willcox Corvette: The 68 Wiper motor is unlike any other Corvette Wiper motor and can be damaged if hooked up wrong. We have detailed instructions on how to bench test this motor on our web site. Here is the link: http://willcoxcorvette.com/repairandinstallhelp.php?hID=195
The ac head needs calibrated. Set Blower motor ON HIGH b.. Set Mode position to Panel c.. Open all A/C outlets d.. Set Temperature to Cold (Both slide pots if equipped) e.. Depress WASH and REAR WIPER button simultaneously for 5 Seconds (Until all LED's light) RESULTS: a.. All LED's will turn on for 5 Seconds b.. Calibration Test is running when REAR WIPER and INTERMITTENT are alternately flashing. Cooldown test is running if A/C and RECIRC are alternately flashing. Wait till all lights stop flashing and only the aft wiper light is flashing. c.. Acceptable results is REAR WIPER LED is the only LED flashing. Push Rear Wiper to exit. d.. After all tests have passed, Calibration Diagnostics and Cooldown can be run separately. COOLDOWN TEST ENTRY a.. Set Blower motor ON HIGH b.. Set Mode position to Panel c.. Open all A/C outlets d.. Set Temperature to Cold (Both slide pots if equipped) e.. Depress WASH and A/C simultaneously for 5 Seconds NOTE: Prior to start of test, If the evaporator is already cold, the system will fail test. To correct, operate system with A/C OFF and the blower motor ON high for three minutes prior to starting test.
You need to start by disconnecting the wiper arm assembly from the splines on the wiper motor itself. Then you need to jog the motor, once, through its cycle until it stops at its "park" position. Turn off the key switch. Then reconnect the wiper arm assembly to the motor when the wiper blades are in the proper position on the windshield. Turn key back on, and test run the wiper motor to make sure the blades aren't going off the edges and that there is no binding. Adjust as needed. Reinstall all previously removed covers and cowling.
"In the Insurance Institute for Higway Safety ratings the Acura RL gets good ratings for the frontal offset test, the side impact test, and the rear crash protection/head restraint test. However, it gets only a marginal rating in the roof strength test."
Possible the motor, but before replacing it remove the wiper arms from the motor itself and then run the wipers, if motor works then check both sides right and Left of the arms rust builds inside making it impossible to move, clean it up and lubricate and test it to see if it works.
Unplug the electrical connection at the motor and test to see if it has power. If there isn't power at the connection, then find the cause of it.. could be a relay, a fuse, a switch, or a broken wire. After that, you supply power to the wiper motor (run the ground post to a good ground, supply power with a jumper wire or something like a Power Probe tool). If it doesn't function like it's supposed to, your wiper motor is bad.
