Rear window wiper motor for Stellantis vehicles
Tested, fully functional
Part description
The used Citroën Peugeot rear wiper motor drives the rear window wiper and helps maintain visibility in rain and when the glass is dirty. It is a suitable solution when repairing a non-functioning rear wiper, if the motor itself has been identified as the cause of the fault. According to the supplied description, this unit has been tested and is fully functional.
When searching for a replacement part, use the identifiers 53033412 and 9683363780 in particular. The documentation also lists the numbers 6405LP and 9840123780. Before replacing the part, compare the markings on the original part, the connector, the mounting points and the output shaft design. A used, functional motor is a practical alternative to buying a new part.

Installation recommendations
The following general procedure applies to this type of part. The exact method of access, fastening and wiper arm adjustment depends on the specific vehicle model and version. Follow the manufacturer’s service procedure.
1) Before installation
- Compare the numbers on the old and replacement motors, the connector shape, number of contacts, mounting points and shaft design.
- Inspect the body, connector and shaft of the used part. Check for cracks, corrosion or damaged contacts.
- Before replacing the motor, check the power supply, ground connection, relevant fuses and wiring. A non-functioning wiper does not necessarily mean the motor is faulty.
- Check the wiper arm, blade and any seal around the shaft opening. Mechanical binding or water ingress can also damage the replacement part.
2) Tools and materials required
You will typically need a set of spanners and sockets, suitable screwdrivers, plastic trim removal tools, a multimeter, a product suitable for cleaning electrical contacts and clean cloths. A suitable puller may be needed if the wiper arm is seized. Replace any damaged fasteners or sealing components in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer’s requirements.
3) Step-by-step installation procedure
- Park the vehicle safely, switch off the wipers and ignition. If the original motor is working, let the wiper return to its parked position.
- Mark the position of the wiper arm on the glass. If the wiper stopped in the wrong position, determine the correct starting position using the service documentation.
- Disconnect the battery in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer’s procedure and secure it to prevent accidental reconnection.
- Depending on the vehicle design, remove the necessary covers and trim. Release the clips carefully to avoid breaking them.
- If the wiper arm must be removed to take out the motor, loosen its fastener and carefully pull it off. Do not lever against the glass or strike the shaft.
- Release the electrical connector lock and disconnect it without pulling on the wires. Inspect the contacts and surrounding wiring.
- Support the motor, release its fasteners and remove it. Note the order of any washers, bushings and seals.
- Clean the mounting surfaces and check the condition of the fasteners and seals. Before installing the replacement motor, eliminate the cause of any water ingress or mechanical resistance.
- Fit the replacement motor without applying strain, position the seals and fasteners correctly, and tighten the connections according to the service documentation. Connect the connector and route the wiring securely.
- Restore the power supply according to the manufacturer’s procedure and, before fitting the wiper arm for the final time, let the motor move to its parked position. Do not touch the shaft or mechanism while it is moving.
- Switch off the ignition and ensure the drive cannot start before handling it again. Fit the wiper arm in the correct position, secure it according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and refit the covers and trim.
4) Post-installation checks and function test
Test the wiper on wet glass. Check that it moves smoothly, sweeps the correct area and returns to the parked position. The arm must not hit surrounding parts or sweep beyond the glass. Listen for any unusual noises and check the fastening and the seal around the shaft opening, if applicable to the specific version. Perform the basic function test while the vehicle is stationary before taking it for a test drive, if required.
5) Common installation errors and how to avoid them
- Fitting the wiper arm outside the parked position: first let the motor park correctly, and only then position the arm.
- Forcing off a seized wiper arm: use a suitable tool and protect the glass and shaft.
- Leaving a leak or mechanical binding unaddressed: eliminate the original cause of the fault before installation.
- Connector not fully engaged or wires pinched: check that the connector is locked and the wiring is routed correctly before refitting the trim.
- Testing on dry or frozen glass: wet the glass and make sure the wiper blade is not frozen to it.
Reasons why the part gets damaged
Common causes of damage to rear wiper motors generally include:
- Water ingress and corrosion due to leaks around the shaft or electrical connection.
- Drive overload caused by a frozen blade, a buildup of snow or a mechanically blocked wiper.
- Shaft or mechanism binding, which increases resistance and puts additional strain on the motor.
- Wear of electrical and transmission components during prolonged operation.
- Improper handling, such as striking the shaft or fitting the wiper arm incorrectly.
These are general causes of failure for this type of part, not faults identified in the item being offered. It is worth eliminating the original cause of the problem before replacement, so that the replacement motor is not subjected to unnecessary strain.
