In a previous video we diagnosed the window washer circuit on this Mercury Grand Marquis and now the new wiper motor has arrived and is time to verify our diagnosis!

Another job well done
Apparently this is problem on many Grand marquis and Crown Vic's
Thanks bro
Definitely, one of the easier jobs to do nice work Eric O as Always @SouthMainAutoRepairLLC
Damnnnnnn 👍👍👍 Im do it just like you did
What is the silver 2 piece arm thing called? I need the part that the wiper blade attaches to for my passenger side
I just put a new wiper motor on my 2003 thanks for the helpful video.
Great job good bless
Thanks for this detailed video! I had to replace the wiper motor on an 03 Grand Marquis (only had high speed and washers; no intermittent, low or park) and this video really helped show what to look out for and made it a simple task. Great camera angles too!
Without using a testing light,, how do we know if the problem is a bad wiper motor or the stalk on the steering wheel? Also, there is at least one other video on YouTube doing the exact same thing you're doing, but when he pulls off the wiper arms, there's no "keyway" in the arm (there didn't seem to be any in mine, either. Is this common for a 2008 Grand Marquis? Or is the keyway unique for your year of car?
If I was doing that motor it would be a 500dollar job. I replaced the one in my Ford pu and I’m here to tell you it’s like playing twister.
What to do when the wipers is stuck in the down position
Can I still remove the wipers if they are stuck in the down position? My wipers are dead
What mm bolts are u using? I’m about to do this same replacement on my 2008 grand marquis.
Recently inherited a great grand marquis. The washer is the only thing wrong with it. Thanks for the help! BTW that test rig and the access to the wiring diagram is nice!
Well shit, mine won't come on at all. Went from only high to not at all. So how do I get it off?
Dear Mr. South Main Auto. My 2011 Crown Vic wiper motor just recently slowly died. I got lucky and found a brand spanking new wiper motor. (NO REFURB). (I Verified that the wiper motor is bad, and the column switch, fuses, relays are all good. The job should be easy peasy, however I have severe imparements, and I cannot bend over long enough to remove the cowling, etc. I hear that If I provide the wiper motor myself (Brand spanking new)…..a fair price for this job (by a real mechanic like you) should be no more than about $175.00. Please advise…does this price sound fair to you? Remember I will provide a brand spanking new wiper motor myself. BTW Thanks for this channel, I watch you nearly every day. God Bless, Johnny. FOOTNOTE: I ask you here because I am on a severely fixed income, so I seek your professional input. (For perspective) I am in the Greater Nashville area.
Thank god for 2x video speed.
Thanks I have a 2009 crown Vic same problem going to tackle it this week thanks again
Get rid of the wiper arms that have the locating "key" — that always falls out and gets lost.
Replace with DORMAN wiper arms — that have the "key" locked in place. Dorman wiper arms have stronger springs, and wipe more uniformly.
Bosch "Icon" wiper blades complete the job, and your wipers are ready for all-weather service.
Thank you for taking the time to do this. It was very helpful.
what tool did you use to put to remove the windshield wipers cause i have to do this tomorrow on a 2000 grand marquis and i need to make sure i use the proper tools cause the last thing i want to do is break something
I have a problem with my wipers on my 07 grand marquis, the wipers only work on high and the wiper fluid doesn’t work, it’s either the multifunctional switch that controls turn signals, wipers and high beams or it’s the motor. I can’t figure out which one it is, you have any idea? If it’s the motor I’d like to buy the one you bought, which site or store did you get it from? Thanks
Thank you very much SMAR LLC. In the middle of this repair right now.
Happy 4th of July South Main.
Great detailed tutorial. Have to do my friend's 2005 grand marquis wiper motor this week. Like to see someone do one first before I go.
good job bro 🤙🏻
Thanks for great video I have own those cars the Grand Marquis Crown Vic and Lincoln for most of my life I can work on them in my sleep great cars pretty much easy to access mostly anything you got to work on they will never make cars like that again have a great evening
Thanks man this video helped me tremendously easy to follow follow everything you said step-by-step and got it done thanks again
I am a new subscriber and I love your show! Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for this video. In my case, logic board on wiper motor was shorting out due to getting wet. As I uncover the problem, the board itself never got wet. It was because of the wiring harness going to the wiper motor was full of water. What caused this, is the harness is pinned to the plastic gutter/wiper housing; water got to the pin then leaked onto wire cluster, then to the port. Replaced motor, cleaned contacts, closed off hole for pin and tucked wire over the brake booster I believe. Fixed! Couldn't have done it without this video as I don't have the dealer service manual or alldata, etc. Thank you so much! You helped out a fellow mechanic from several hours of scratching my head.
Dumb question. Cant u just pop linkage off and plug connector off then the three 10mm bolts and it pops out bottom?
Thank You for this info Sir my 2008 MGM needs this my wipers wont shut off tried a new milti function switch that didn't do it so its this next Very Helpful Indeed
My wipers will not stop. Could this help my situation?
You can't remove the wiper motor without taking off the cowling stuff. I tried.
Can this be done without removing the wiper blade assembly's?
awesome, an other great job well done,
I have a 2000 MGM. Worst wiper system ever – especially in winter. Setup is similar, but 2000 model year have wipers that sit down below the hood line on a piece of plastic instead of on the glass windshield. This causes all sorts of problems with wiper distortion and premature blade failure. I get about 3 months from wiper blades no matter what brand. Good to see Ford remedied this problem on later models. Last of the body on frames. A little piece of America died when these cars were discontinued. Hit an interstate highway with a Panther and you will see what I mean. TY for the video.
I'm replacing the wiper motor on a 2000 Grand Marquis. Just removed everything today. This vehicle had the windshield replaced a while back. So of course, both keyways are missing. Do you have a part number on them or any recommendations where to purchase new ones? I guess I can just keep removing them until I get it rite. It would be a lot easier with the keyways though. Any help would be appreciated..
Is this the same for 2003 Crown Vic police model?
New sub here….I just recently purchased a 2001 Crown Vic and when I turn on the wipers, they move up about an inch and stop..when I move them with my hand they make the entire swipe but will not move on their own…maybe the motor is bad…I haven't taken the cover off yet and looked because I have been busy with removing the stock Y pipe so I can hear the exhaust..its a civilian LX that was owned by a little old lady
I guess I will have to put your words to the test. My 2004 Crown Vic squirter does not work. I just finished watching this and the prior video. If you can do it, I can do it. I also subbed and rang that bell.
How did you no the motor was bad did it make a funny noise
My 2003 Grand Marquis wipers won't shut off, operate at one speed and washer fluid spray stopped working. Going to start with the wiper motor replacement, unless you have another suggestion. Thanks Eric!
Thank u so much for that video.
Great video. Thank you!
thanks for the quality video . I have to do this asap .
My windshield wipers won't turn off i change the switch on the colom didn't work eather had to pull the fuse under the hood could it be the motor
I have a 1991 grand marquis and the hood is so close I can barely get in there to do anything. Should I remove the hood or is this a disaster waiting to happen? Great channel. I appreciate your attention to detail. Thanks.
Got mine done thanks to GOD and your Video , it goes by pretty fast . I am subscribed to all of your videos and again I thank you so much .
