Hi just put in my wiper motor but it is spinning the wrong direction, the park is working ok. What is the easiest fix?
Cheers |

Never had mine apart so not 100% sure how they operate but thought it was a motor effectively moving a rack in the form of a long flexible coil within a tube that in turn rotates the drive spindles through a gear.
If that's the case and you have had the wheel box apart you have likely started the movement of the drive wheel180deg offset.. So you will need to open it up again and alter the start point by 180 deg.. |

The change happened for the 2002 model year, early Td5s had the same setup as older vehicles.
The motor is the same, it is the drive gear that differs. As the wiper rack was moved from above to underneath the wheel boxes, the direction of movement was reversed. For RHD - on earlier (to 2001) vehicles the cable ‘pushes’ first. On later (2002-on) vehicles it ‘pulls’ first. |
