2001 Ford Mustang Wiper Motor Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service the windshield wiper motor on 2001 Ford Mustang?

  A: Service of the windshield wiper motor starts by positioning the wipers vertically because this provides easy access to remove the retaining clip from the wiper motor output shaft. The service process starts with removal of cowl top vent panels while the vehicle power supply gets disconnected through negative battery cable removal. The wiper motor service begins by taking out the clip that attaches the mounting arm to the pivot shaft linkage from the output shaft. Disconnect the electrical connector as the next step in the process before removing the bolts for wiper motor removal. The new wiper motor installation demands mounting it with bolts before connecting electrical wires. Secure the wiper motor only after installing the retaining clip onto the mounting arm and pivot shaft linkage. Reconnect the negative battery cable while installing the wiper motor output shaft mounting arm and pivot shaft linkage through its output shaft opening. After battery connection and disconnection the vehicle will experience unpredictable driving behavior until its adaptive system adapts to the changes through continuous driving of at least 16 km (10 miles). Complete the wiper motor cycling then replace the cowl top vent panels by adjusting the pivot arms to the correct position.
