Steps
Remove the wiper arm and trim
Lift the arm cover, mark the blade's parked position on the glass, and remove the retaining nut. Pull the arm from its splines and release the interior liftgate trim.
Disconnect and remove the motor
Unplug the motor connector and remove its mounting bolts. Lift the motor out while noting the shaft and linkage orientation.
Install and cycle the motor
Seat the replacement motor in the original position, secure its fasteners, and reconnect the plug. Run one cycle with the arm off so the motor returns to park.
Refit the arm and test
Align the arm with the parked-position mark and tighten its nut securely. Reinstall the cover and interior trim, then test the wiper across the glass for smooth travel.
