521 Wiper motor replacement


Recommended Posts

My wiper motor doesn't work/never has on my 521. I found one listed for a 620, are they interchangeable? Has anyone tried the Mazda wiper motor conversion? I'm not too concerned because it never rains here, but would be nice to have a working one just incase it did!

Make sure it's the wiper. Replacing it when it's the fuse/switch/ground will be expensive and won't fix the problem.

Are you sure your pivots are free/loose, the motor cannot turn something that is froze up solid.

Are you sure you have power to the motor?

I cannot recall ever seeing a 521 wiper motor that didn't work, but I have seen 521 fuse boxes that didn't supply power to a lot of things in a 521 unless you wiggled the terminals/wires, especially the headlights/park-running lights, first thing I would do is make sure if it did try to run that it could run.
