Jeep Repair: 2000 cherokee sport rear wiper motor, rubber gasket, output shaft


Question
My 2000 Cherokee Sport rear wiper does not work. I was told it was probably the motor. How do you remove and install these motors? Thanks

Answer
REMOVAL
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Remove the rear wiper arm from the rear wiper motor output shaft. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/REAR WIPERS/WASHERS/REAR WIPER ARM - REMOVAL).
From the outside of the liftgate, remove the rear wiper motor output shaft nut (Rear Wiper Module Remove/Install).
Pull the rear wiper motor output shaft bezel and rubber gasket away from the liftgate far enough to access and disconnect the washer supply hose from the barbed nipple on the back side of the bezel.
Remove the bezel and rubber gasket from the wiper motor output shaft.
Remove the trim panel from the inside of the liftgate. (Refer to 23 - BODY/DECKLID/HATCH/LIFTGATE/TAILGATE/TRIM PANEL - REMOVAL).
Disconnect the liftgate wire harness connector for the rear wiper module from the module connector receptacle.
Remove the two screws that secure the rear wiper module mounting bracket to the liftgate inner panel.
Remove the rear wiper module and mounting bracket from the liftgate as a unit.
