Description
Rear window wiper motor for PEUGEOT 407 SW cars
Part description
The rear wiper motor is a key part of the wiper mechanism, which ensures smooth movement of the rear wiper blade and thus a good rearward view in rain or snow. This used part is intended for the Peugeot 407 SW and is suitable as a replacement in the event of a defect in the original motorcycle (e.g. non-functioning, weak running or irregular wiping).
When choosing, the most important thing is to follow the product number, because it often differs depending on the design.

Installation recommendations
Generally/typically the replacement of the rear wiper motor is carried out following the removal of the trim part in the area of the rear window/fifth door and the disconnection of the electrical connector. The exact procedure may vary depending on the specific design of the car and the wiper mechanism.
1) Before assembly (checks)
- Compare old and new part: connector match, mount and number 9646500880 / 54906212 / 6405R1.
- Check the condition of the connector and pins (oxidation, loosening, damage).
- Check if the motor output shaft/axes do not appear to be stuttering (when manually rotated according to design).
2) Necessary tools and materials
- Basic set of ratchets and extensions / keys
- Screwdrivers and crowbars for plastic upholstery
- Electrical contact cleaner, cloth
- Protective gloves
3) Step-by-step assembly procedure
- Turn off the ignition and secure the vehicle against movement.
- Disconnect the battery (minimizing the risk of a short circuit when working on the wiring).
- Remove the necessary inner trim in the area of access to the rear wiper motor (careful because of the clips).
- Disconnect the motorcycle electrical connector.
- Undo the fasteners and remove the original motor.
- Check the surroundings: grommets, wiring, any traces of water/oxidation and clean everything.
- Install the new motor in its original position and fasten it in the same way as the original part.
- Connect the electrical connector and check that it clicks properly.
- Namontujte zpět demontované obložení.
- Connect the battery.
- Perform a functional test of the rear wiper (operation, fluidity, irregularities).
-
4) Post-assembly checks and function verification
- Verify that the wiper runs smoothly and without unusual noises.
- Check that the connector is not hot and that the wiring is not under tension.
- After a short ride, check again that everything holds and nothing vibrates.
5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them
- Exchanging a part without checking the numbers → always compare the codes and the connector.
- Damage to plastic trim clips → remove with an upholstery pry bar and do not pry with force.
- Not solving the oxidation of the connector → clean the contacts, check the pins.
- Installation without disconnecting the battery → risk of short circuit and other defects in the electrical installation.
Reasons why the part is damaged
- Intrusion of moisture into the mechanism area and subsequent corrosion/oxidation of the contacts.
- Mechanism load (frozen wiper blade, snow/ice on the glass) leading to motorcycle overload.
- Wear of the internal parts of the motorcycle due to age and operation.
- Increased resistance of the mechanism (links/axle stuttering) – the motor then works in unsuitable conditions and can go away.
- Problems in the electrical installation (loose or oxidized connectors) that cause blackouts or erratic operation.
