Introdução
In this guide will be be replacing a windshield wiper motor on a 2010 Ford Mustang. This repair might be necessary if your windshield wipers are randomly turning on when you haven't turned them on. Eventually, if that's what they are doing the motor will completely burn out. At that point, you won't have functioning wipers at all.
The wiper motor is under the cowl, fairly close to a drain plug that can get easily clogged causing a large pool of water in that area. So, if you take your car through the car wash a lot, and don't park under covered parking regularly, this repair might be necessary every couple of years due to bad placement of the wiper motor. Trying to limit how wet your car gets will extend the life of the wiper motor.
Before you begin, if you have anything you need in the trunk of the car, get it out before you begin the repair. You will be disconnecting the battery at Step 3 and once the battery is disconnected you won't be able to unlock the trunk.

Repeat the same process for the driver side. This time when the edge is lifted up towards the hood turn it counterclockwise to slip it out from under the edge of the hood.
