CAUTION: Do not apply pressure to, or pry on, the plastic drive link bushing. When removing the drive link from, or installing the drive link
to the ball stud on the wiper motor crank arm, apply pressure to, or pry on, only the metal portions of the drive link around the
bushing. If the bushing is damaged, the entire front wiper module MUST be replaced.
CAUTION: Do not remove the crank arm nut from the wiper motor output shaft. The crank arm is indexed to the output shaft with the motor
in the park position during the manufacturing process, but there are no provisions made for correctly indexing this connection in
the field. If the crank arm to output shaft indexing is incorrect, the entire front wiper module MUST be replaced.
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. On vehicles equipped with the optional Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) system, a technician
trained in proper HEV service safety procedures must also remove the high voltage service disconnect from the high voltage battery pack.
2. Remove both front wiper arms from the wiper pivots. See: Wiper Arm/Service and Repair/Wiper Arm - Removal.
3. Remove the cowl plenum cover/grille panel from over the front wiper module. See: Body and Frame/Cowl/Cowl Moulding / Trim/Service and
Repair/Cowl Panel Cover - Removal.
4. Disconnect the wire harness connector from the front wiper motor connector.
5. Disengage the socket bushing (3) of the right wiper drive link (2) from the ball stud on the wiper motor crank arm (5) using two large
screwdrivers, one on each side of the ball stud. Pry between the crank arm and the metal portion of the drive link until the socket unsnaps from the
ball.
6. Remove the sleeve bushing of the left wiper drive link (4) from the ball stud on the wiper motor crank arm.
7. While supporting the wiper motor (7) from the underside of the wiper module bracket (6), remove the three screws (1) that secure the motor to the
bracket.
