  A: Service of the windshield wiper motor begins with disconnecting the battery ground cable while the wiper pivot arms rest at the highest windshield point. First unzip the wiper pivot arms before raising the hood to support it. The removal process of cowl top vent grille consists of detaching five center screws and retainers along with the two outer retainers, screws and washers. First elevate the clip from the windshield wiper mounting arm and pivot shaft after which you should remove the mounting arm and pivot shaft from the wiper motor. Use the wrench to detach the electrical connector of the wiper motor and then unscrew its mount bolts to extract it from the system. To reinstall this component put all parts back together by following the removal steps while readjusting the windshield wiper pivot arms and wiper blades according to need. The vehicle must drive 16 km (10 mi) or more after battery disconnection since reconnecting and disconnecting the battery causes temporary abnormal drive symptoms as it learns its adaptive strategy. Begin the installation process only when the wiper motor sits in park mode.
