Honda Wiper Motor Replacement

Here's a video demonstrating how to replace a windshield wiper motor on a Honda Accord.
After a while windshield wiper motors burn out, or the linkages break, causing the windshield wiper to stop functioning properly. Other symptoms include them working in reverse, making a clunking noise, not returning to the home position, or them being out of time, causing them to collide.
This video shows you step by step how to remove and replace the windshield wiper arms, transmission and motor assembly.
The windshield arms are first removed by loosening the 17mm nut at their pivot point. They can then be pried up and off of their splines.
Next, the plastic windshield cowl, which sits below the windshield needs to be removed. Its just held in by clips. Remove both the left and right sides for easier access.
Once the plastic is out of the way, 4 10mm bolts can be removed to free the windshield wiper transmission and motor assembly from the vehicle's body. The electrical connector can then be disconnected, and tested using another 12V power source.
It is very important to align the timing marks on the wipers when reassembling the unit. There are 3 timing marks on the housing and one arrow on the motor that need to be aligned when the motor is in the home position. Run the motor with no linkage attached to reset it to the home position before installing the drive linkage.
This was demonstrated on a 2004 Honda Accord, and is the same procedure for all 2003-2007 Accords. This procedure may also be similar to the Acura TSX and TL.

My husband is deployed and my windshield motor went out. This video helped me save hundreds of dollars! I called 5 shops around my area to see what price it would be to have my windshield motor replaced and I got estimates from $300-$700 dollars. I bought the motor at an autozone and my sister and I replaced it ourselves by watching your video. Thank you!

I Google how to replace my Honda Wiper Motor and found your video. Thank you for making this video! I'm almost 65 yrs. old and did it myself today! I bought a used wiper motor from junk yard for $35. Price of new I think about $80-90. Repair shop was going to charge $85 to replace. I decide to do myself! Can't be happier that I saved money I didn't have!

I just wanna say thank u. I watched ur video and replaced the windshield wiper motor on my Honda Accord EX with no complications. It was just in time, as if today, in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, we r having a stupid snow storm. U saved my life and my job and a fortune from going to the mechanics! So again, THANK U!!!!!

Thank you very much for this excellent video. I decided to replace the whole motor and transmission assembly as one piece. The project went very well. I also removed the molding along the top left side of the hood to get the cowl out. Maybe I didn't have to. It's certainly good to have a kit of these plastic clips to get everything back together tight because once you pull them out, they're often useless. In my case the actual fault was with the transmission. The bushings had failed. I also found a ton of compost in the area under and near the assembly, probably from years of leaves decomposing in here. I used a shop vac to clean them out well. Again, thank you for the video! It gave me the confidence to attempt this repair myself and it went very well.

Thanks. I had done a repair on my 06 Accord wiper mechanism but I messed up the park position of the wipers. Using your video, I could see exactly where to align the arrow on mine. My mechanism didn't even have the three little lines to point at so I looked closely at your video and could eyeball it. Worked out perfectly.

Thanks for this video. I just did this on an 04 coupe and there were a couple differences worth noting: the coupe model uses a different motor for one. There’s no notch to line up on the wiper linkage but rather 2 lines running along the “bars” or whatever you’d call them and the linkage also looks different. Other than that it looked to be about the same

Thanks! This helped me replace the wiper motor on my 2009 Fit with a used one and save lots of $$$. The process was nearly identical, except that there were no registration marks on the linkage or motor. Just had to cycle the motor and make sure the linkage was in the fully extended (i.e., straight) position before bolting it to the motor. I don't have much experience working on cars but the complete job still only took an hour.
