Wiper Motor: Service Precautions
CAUTION:
^
Do not handle the wiper motor abusively when diagnosing the wiper operations. Failure to follow this caution may result in damage to the motor
magnets and will make the wiper motor inoperative. Rough handling of new replacement wiper motors may also damage the motor magnets.
^
The internal permanent magnets used in the windshield wiper motor are made of a glass-like material. To avoid damaging the magnets, do not
strike the motor with a hammer or any other object.
^
To avoid possible damage to the mounting arm and pivot shaft retainer clip, be sure the clip is fully seated before installing on the motor crank pin.
