The Ford Taurus wiper motor does not have an official service life. However, if you use your wipers extensively, you may notice the motor slowing down or straining during operation. This is a clear indication that the motor is ready to fail. Replacement motors can be purchased from any auto parts store or from a Ford dealership. You will need to know the year of your Taurus to make sure you get the correct motor. Once the old motor has been removed, you need to install the new motor.
