Can I install this myself?

Troubleshooting
Rear wiper does not move.
Check the electrical connection to the motor. Ensure the fuse for the rear wiper system is intact. Verify power supply to the motor connector. If power is present and the fuse is good, the motor may be faulty.
Wiper movement is slow or intermittent.
Inspect the wiper arm for obstructions or damage. Check for corrosion on electrical connections. The motor may be nearing the end of its lifespan or experiencing internal wear.
Motor makes a grinding noise.
This could indicate internal damage to the motor gears or that the wiper arm is not properly seated on the motor spline. Ensure the wiper arm is securely attached.
Wiper does not park in the correct position.
The internal parking mechanism of the motor may have failed. This usually requires motor replacement.
