What motor, typically installed on the firewall or under the cowl, powers the windshield wipers?
Answer Wiper motor
Typically, windshield wipers are driven by a tiny electric motor installed on the firewall or under the cowl, called the wiper motor. It operates a connection that oscillates the wiper arms. The rear wiper is powered by a separate motor on automobiles with a rear window wiper.
