Wiper Motor Replacement: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Honda Insight and 2010 Honda Insight. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Before installing the motor, connect the 5P connector to the wiper motor, and turn the windshield wiper/washer switch ON to LO or HI position, then OFF to return the motor shaft to the park position.
NOTE:
- Do not use the windshield wiper/washer switch INT position in this step.
- Apply multipurpose grease to the moving parts.
Install the wiper motor to the wiper linkage assembly in the reverse order of removal.
Install the linkage to the wiper motor shaft, then align the mark (A) of the linkage and the mark (B) of the wiper linkage assembly.
