• Q: How to Maintain a Wiper Motor on 2005 Jeep Liberty?

  A: Before servicing the rear wiper motor, disconnect the negative battery cable from the connecting post. Release the rear wiper arm from where it fits onto the back side of the rear wiper motor. Insert a thin tool in the notch by the rear wiper motor to carefully separate the nut cover from the bezel. After that, take out the nut connecting the wiper motor shaft to the outer panel and uninstall the bezel and gasket from the output shaft. Detach the trim panel from the tailgate and break the wireless connection between the flip-up glass ajar switch and the flip-up glass latch relay on top of the tailgate. Unhook the tailgate wire harness connector from the motor's receptacle and then use a screwdriver to take out the two screws holding the motor bracket to the top of the tailgate. Pull the rear wiper motor and its mounting bracket forward to take out the two screws locked in the keyed slots inside the tailgate's top panel. Attach the rear wiper motor and its bracket into the tailgate together and slide the output shaft through the hole in the outer panel before clipping the two screws into the keyed fittings. Guide the output shaft so it's centered in the clearance hole and then place the gasket and bezel on top. Screw and tighten the nut holding the output shaft to the outer tailgate panel to 5 N.m (43 in.lbs.) and tighten the two screws securing the mounting bracket to the top of the inner panel to 6 N.m (57 in.lbs.). Connect the wire harness for both the tailgate and the rear wiper, press the nut cover over the output bezel, set the flip-up glass switch back into the tailgate, reattach the battery negative cable and refit the wiper arm back onto the output shaft.
