Who It's For

This motor suits owners restoring or maintaining a Jeep CJ5 1983 or CJ7 1983-1986 with the L4 2.5L or L6 4.2L engines who need a like-for-like windshield wiper motor without a washer pump. Mechanics and DIYers who prefer a direct OE-style swap will appreciate the 4-pin connector and the reference numbers provided to confirm fitment.

It is not ideal for vehicles that require an integrated washer pump or for right hand drive conversions; those users should look for a motor assembly that includes the pump or matches alternate drive configurations. Also, buyers should confirm year/make/model details before purchase to avoid fitment errors.
