Swapping out wiper motors

Discussion in 'General Motoring' started by Rusty Shackleford, May 13, 2006.

  1. I own a '92 Accord EX, and the other day the passenger wiper motor died
    on me. Popped the hood today, and saw that the motors are underneath a
    molding that's held in place with some plastic plugs. If anyone is
    familiar with this and can tell me how I'd go about getting a new set
    of these plugs, and how to go about pulling off the molding, I'd
    eternally grateful.
    Also, if there's any other little surprises once I do pull the molding
    off, a head's up would be appreciated.

    Go to www.slhondaparts.com for the diagrams you need. There is only one
    motor.

    You're sure it's not the fuse/relay/switch, right? One little trick I
    employ is go to a salvage yard and practice there. That really saved me
    when I pulled the instrument cluster on my 95 Civic. It also saved my
    butt when I relaced the lights in my heater control (secret screw). I have
    pulled the wiper moter on 2 Civics. It's a piece of cake if you go slow on
    the plastic cowl fastners. Some will break as they get brittle with age.
    Good luck.

  4. I doubt it's a fuse, since I could see the wiper gradually oscillating
    less and less as I was driving.
    Can the cowl fasteners be reused? I was under the impression I'd have
    to buy some new ones, and was mainly curious as to how I'd go about
    getting new ones. If they can, what's the right way to remove them? I
    was planning on just prying up on the cowl close to the fastener with a
    screwdriver.
    Thanks for the info.
