(2) Install and tighten the three screws that secure
the wiper motor to the wiper linkage module motor
bracket. Tighten the screws to 12 N·m (105 in. lbs.).
(3) If this wiper motor is being reinstalled, position
the motor crank arm on the wiper motor output shaft
so that the index marks made during the removal
procedure are aligned. If this is a new wiper motor
installation, the motor crank arm should be installed
so that it is pointed toward the left (driver) side of
the vehicle and parallel with the two wiper drive
links while both wiper blades are positioned on their
alignment marks near the lower edge of the wind-
shield glass.
(4) Install and tighten the nut that secures the
motor crank arm to the wiper motor output shaft.
Tighten the nut to 12 N·m (105 in. lbs.).
(5) Reconnect the vehicle wire harness connector
for the wiper motor to the motor pigtail wire connec-
tor.
(6) Reconnect the battery negative cable.
WIPER RELAY
DESCRIPTION
A wiper relay is standard equipment on all models.
The wiper relay (or intermittent wipe relay) is
located in a dedicated receptacle on the bottom left of
the fuse block on the underside of the steering col-
umn (Fig. 25). The wiper relay is a conventional
International Standards Organization (ISO) micro
relay. Relays conforming to the ISO specifications
have common physical dimensions, current capaci-
ties, terminal patterns, and terminal functions. The
relay is contained within a small, rectangular,
molded plastic housing. The relay is connected to all
of the required inputs and outputs through the
instrument panel wire harness connector by five
male spade-type terminals that extend from the bot-
tom of the relay base. The ISO designation for each
terminal is molded into the base adjacent to the ter-
minal. The ISO terminal designations are as follows:
• 30 (Common Feed) - This terminal is con-
nected to the movable contact point of the relay.
