Installation steps
2
Remove the front-side screw
Remove the single front-side T30 Torx screw, then carefully lower the enclosure cover.
3
Unplug the wiper motor connection
Release the connector lock and unplug the factory wiper motor connection. Do not pull directly on the wires.
4
Connect and route SmartWiper
- Connect the SmartWiper harness between the factory connectors.
- Lay the SmartWiper box in the bottom of the enclosure and route the connector and wiring along the side.
- Keep all wires uncrossed and clear of the enclosure cover. A few positioning attempts may be required.
- Install the supplied T-tap on the white wire at Terminal 2.
- Connect the SmartWiper washer wire to the third port on the T-tap.
Terminal 2 must be confirmed before connecting. An incorrect connection may damage the unit.
To verify, meter the white wire to chassis ground. It must show approximately 12 volts only while the washer is activated.

Refit the enclosure cover
Confirm the cover fits freely with no wire restrictions or pinched wiring. Reposition the box or harness as required, then reinstall all three T30 Torx screws.
Wi-Fi, setup and support

Troubleshooting
- Cover will not fit: Re-route the box and wires until the cover closes freely. Never pinch wiring.
