Same Rear Wiper Motor?

[GotQX4?]

Hey all,

My QX4's rear wiper crapped out on me about a month ago, of course it stopped in the vertical position middle of window...

Anyhow, is the rear wiper motor part the EXACT SAME for Pathfinder/QX4? Mine is a 1998.

Priced new and used on eBay/local parts store and there is a considerable difference in price!

Searched the forums and found some stuff on rear wipers but not solid answer if its same part. Sorry if this has been asked before.

Thanks!

I don't have an answer to your question, but have the same problem. Hope someone has an answer.

May not be the motor, rusted up parts, look inside and clean the mechanism up, grease try the motor out after clean and lube.

Hey thanks for the advice. I had the inside of tailgate popped off and the rear wiper working again in 15 mins or less! Worked the inside arm and felt the motor trying. Used a spray can of lithium grease lubricant on 3 different areas and kept spraying back window with windex letting wiper work for 5'mins or so.

Now it works perfect again and saved $140 on a new one!

Mine did the same thing. Then you don't use it for a month or so and back to trying to get it to work again. Hope yours stays fixed.
