• Q: How to Replace a Wiper Motor on 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser?

  A: First, open the hood and take out the negative cable from the car battery before swapping the rear wiper motor. Unscrew the covers on the rearmost wiper nut and plug, then attach a battery terminal puller to take out the wiper arm from the wiper pivot. After that, take off the liftgate trim panel and break the connection to the harness. Loosen the bolts that attach the rear wiper motor and, carefully, take the motor out of the vehicle, checking that you don't break the grommet or the window. Before the motor is installed, check that the wiper system is in PARK and line up the wiper's blade with the park line marked on the glass. Swap out all three rubber well-nuts at this step of the service. Replace the new wirer with the three bolts and tighten them to 1.2 Nm (10 in. lbs.). Then plug in the harness connector and fasten the liftgate panel. Place the wiper arm arm lengthwise on the pivot, tighten the retaining nut to 18 - 20 Nm (160 - 175 in. lbs.) and reinstall the rear wiper arm nut cap. After replacing the broken cable, link back the battery negative cable, shut the hood and see that everything is working fine.
