4:42 in was a critical point for me, resetting the new motor...something I had not done on my previous attempt to fix wipers that only worked on one speed. Now I have fully working wipers on my Silverado. Thanks for the straight video.

[@brandonbedsaul2987]

Step by step was perfect for my 2004 chevrolet k2500 HD. Wipers worked only on high. No intermediate operation, no washers and would not park. 40 minutes being careful. Thank you for the video!

You guys have earned my business and recommendation over the years, to friends, family and other folks that are cash strapped but capable of learning and doing a job correctly with the right tools and parts, while avoiding buying unnecessary parts and paying huge labor and overhead costs. You guys are awsome! Snap-on or any other tool company should love and want to support your videos as well. Thank you once again! Teaching is the most noble of professions!

[@460bigtime]

This video made the process flawlessly easy. I highly recommend

[@allcardboardcards]

I used this video in November 2024! Thanks for all you do

[@rossgooding7423]

Thanks guys! Great video-and the only thing I wasn’t 100% Sure of was the alignment of the new motor arm, which I had to attached to the spindle, however I approximated the angle that you illustrate in the video and it worked fine. Only took about an hour to put it back together. And my symptoms were the wipers would not turn off -only could turn them off by pulling the fuse

[@christinewilson4622]

This was very informative especially re setting the wiper motor before reinstalling the transmission. Thats for the great videos and your help, makes working on vehicles a pleasure. Thanks from New Jersey!

[@carlisclinton6062]

great video, not too much talking, just did the job and made it plain. Thanks

[@lesseguin5765]

The best video. I was. Able to adjust mine after a ice build up.

[@williamshoup1602]

Very useful video, Only thing I would add (after doing my 2002 silverado), Take a picture of the orientation of the short linkage bar that attaches to the drive spline before removing the assembly from the vehicle, this will allow you to verify the correct orientation once the new motor is attached, and save a lot of time adjusting, The short linkage bar will be pointing to the left approximately just before the nine o'clock position, the farthest point left without bringing the wiper arms down at the start of the stroke.

[@8uercus366]

Yeah thanks for the tip. Wish that would have been in the video too! I'll try the adjustment. Figured there would be a clarification in the comments. Linkage bar should point to the left when the whole transmission is attached, correct?

[@alajones5428]

Yeah. They really need to add that part. My replacement motor didn’t come with a linkage arm.

[@christinefredinburg2426]

@@alajones5428 isn't that the process they cover when they have you connect the motor and turn on the wipers to reset the arm? At 4:50

[@jkarov]

Thank you for the video, I not only changed my wiper motor, I also installed a sheet of wire mesh over the fresh air intake to keep the damn $%@)$% mice out of the blower and the cabin Underneath the cowl on passenger side, I took my die grinder and cut a square hold 5 x7 inches big enough to get the wire cloth in there and expoxied that over the intake My 2004 GMC 2500HD didn't even come with cabin filter so I'm at least going to be able to prevent the bastard rodents from getting in.

[@danieldunham6883]

jkarov Brilliant man. Thanks for the Post. I keep my 2500HD in heated Storage 5-6 months out of the year.

[@moneymig]

Lol

[@buckbuck5850]

I very much love this video and so many more it has help me so much thank you for that

[@jamne6077]

Great illustration

[@46benson46]

Great instructions on replacing motor it helped me a lot doing my 2004 Chevrolet Avalanche

[@okanapaydin7547]

Great and simple instructions. I had fun doing it.

[@newtonwong3520]

Thank you for this video. It helped a ton.

[@dreadpirateroberts4883]

For this generation Chevrolet truck, also good to check your passenger side under-cowl water barrier, while you're in here doing wiper or wiper motor repair. The integrity of the openings & seals under that black cowl is a chronic issue in these vehicles, which manifests in water dripping onto the passenger floorboard...or worse, dripping down behind the dash, under the carpet, soaking it from underneath.

[@johnsonbobo2376]

A big thumbs up here guys!!! thanks so much. very very helpful

[@fallendemonangelag]

Would I need to replace my wiper motor if I have one wiper working?

[@darthtrack771]

Question: passenger blade works fine, driver only twitches, what is the issue, I think the actual arm that holds the blade stripped out, but I haven't looked yet. Any advice?

[@SMWLM]

Easy peezy, thank you, 👍!

[@WUMA-WattsUp]

I was waiting for you to try them out...did they park right?

[@JezRafz]

My windshield wipers don't move at all. How do I know for certain it is indeed the motor? Could it be the transmission, a fuse? 2005 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT.

[@quiettime6871]

Check the fuse, it's in the panel on the drivers side when you open the door. If you have a multimeter, You can check the circuit for voltage. If thats all good it's probably the motor. If a linkage bushing is bad, you would probably hear some thrashing noise.

[@charlesmckenrysr.7038]

Thank you, very helpful.

[@tommyv5435]

Outstanding video.

[@1runone]

I need to do this for the drivers side thai video should definitely help

[@johnkallas6416]

what if main motor works fine but just one wiper arm gears seem to be stripped. Is just one side replaceable? Other wiper works fine.

[@juanmoreno5187]

By any chance do you have a video of you guys showing how to wire up the wires like what color goes to what because mine got cut up but the wires are so old I can’t tell what wires go where now

[@robertodiaz7953]

You guys are best

[@trentonleague]

I bought for A1A and installed the motor just as in the video. However when turned on the wipers turn the wrong direction and immediately go down and obviously stop and don’t go further. What is wrong and what should I do? Thanks

[@1AAuto]

+Trenton League We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

[@trentonleague]

@@1AAuto I bought the part from y’all so I could do it myself. I did everything as it was done in your video. But I cant change the direction of the motor that y’all gave me which is wrong. It goes opposite of what makes the wipers lift then drop. Otherwise I’ll need to send the motor back and buy from a part company that can send me a working part

[@1AAuto]

+Trenton League We are sorry to hear this! Please give us a call so we can have this corrected for you.

[@Ravenwest9876]

Will a 2001 tahoe wiper motor work on my 2000 Silverado 1500?

[@castle4kjv]

Did this solve the leak completely? My driver side gets wet too.

[@franklinmorris2483]

Hardest part for me was trying to figure out how to put the transmission back in place thinking it went in a certain way lol…. Other than that both my wipers are working now

[@1AAuto]

Good videos. But U should list the part number with a link to your website. I went to Amazon. Would have just clicked on link with the part number if U had it.

[@nilesgillis4548]

Is the wiper motor transmission the same setup on a 2004 1500 Silverado ?

[@1AAuto]

+Niles Gillis This video is applicable to the 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, Chevy Suburban, Tahoe, or Silverado pickup truck; or GMC Yukon or Sierra.

[@javiervelazquez3496]

Thanks 😅

[@AASW320]

Does trailblazer fall under this category of installation ?

[@1AAuto]

+AGE WELL We don't have a how-to video for your vehicle right now, but the basic steps in this video should be enough to do this task. Buy this part for your vehicle on 1AAuto.com: 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

[@davidjager23]

What do they think we're all certified mechanics or something? Like we can do jobs requiring specialized tools like ANYBODY has a 10mm socket just lying around...do you know ANYBODY who has such a tool readily available? ;)

[@shanek6582]

The four clips that hold on that vent cowling on my truck are rusted and I don't know the correct term to look them up

[@logancook4538]

How much would a shop charge for this to be done?

[@ronsmith5615]

Are you sitting down?! The Chevy dealership quoted me $1,600. to replace the motor on my 2002 Trailblazer. The charge to "diagnose" the problem and do a minor fix that didn't work was $600.00. That means I'd be out a total of $2,200.! This was two years ago and it's still not fixed and driving me crazy. Thank God for this video so that I can now do it myself!

[@chadfettig2541]

You never say to mark the windshield to maintain proper park position for wipers.

[@92clintonr]

Chad Fettig Pretty straight forward setting that even without a mark on the windshield.

[@ricktaylor3748]

I think some grease in the studs wouldn't hurt. Taking the pulse module off without removing that brace is a f**king nightmare.

[@TNHow-To]

Anyone have photo of orientation?

[@678friedbed]

Geez I'm having to pull mines bk apart wipers not set right dammit

[@tonybevilacqua2266]

Informative but slow down remember your showing amateurs

[@maxmayhem9778]

All of the product descriptions describe this as a rear windshield wiper motor but the video shows replacement of a front windshield motor, and I need the front motor for a 2001 Silverado? Please clarify.

[@klener58]

what if the driver side only dosent work the right way

[@klener58]

well i just need to know if i need to replace the hole than are can you fix just driver side

[@samwood7331]

failed bushing on driver's side of wiper transmission train. easy , cheap fix

[@randybeard6040]

I can Guarantee that you will break One of the Plastic Parts, it Always Happens especially if the vehicle is 10 or more years old....

[@antoniusmas2043]

YUP 100% TRUE RANDY. 1.THE MINI PLASTIC NIPPLE ON THE END OF THE WIPER HOSE INSERT ATTACHED TO THE BLADE BROKE OFF ( HAD TO BUY A WHOLE NEW ARM AND PRY THE BROKEN NIPPLE FROM THE ATTACHED BODY OF THE RUBBER TEET ON THE CAL PANEL) 2. THE HOSE ITSELF LEADING FROM THE RESERVOIR SNAPPED ( TAPED THAT BACK 2GETHER) 3. THE EDGE CORNER THAT SECURES THE SMALL T-15 BOLT..SNAP!...GETTING THE TRANSMISSION BACK IN WAS A BITCH FOR SOME REASON....OUT COOL, BACK IN, HELL NO.... GEEZ,,,20 MINUTE FIGHT............ALSO ONE OF THE CLIPS POPPED OFF - LOST 4EVER...... GOT IT DONE THO....TOOK LONGER THAN EXPECTED DUE TO THE UNFORESEEN. SOMETHING STILL NOT RIGHT, OPERATES GOOD, BUT HESITATES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CYCLE. STOPS WHEN TURNED OFF...THEN A HALF INCH JUMP UP....
