Product Details

The Cardone Windshield Wiper Motor line is rooted in remanufactured OE replacement parts, and the 40-10016 follows that same approach. It is built for front windshield wiper systems on 2005-2007 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, and Escalade EXT; 2005-2007 Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado, Suburban, and Tahoe; and 2005-2007 GMC Sierra, Yukon, and Yukon XL applications listed in the fitment data. This part number is also a direct reference for OE number 88958406.

For drivers searching for a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe windshield wiper motor, a 2006 GMC Sierra 1500 wiper motor, or a 2005 Cadillac Escalade front wiper motor, Cardone 40-10016 provides a remanufactured OE-style solution built to restore consistent sweep and parking operation.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Wipers stop mid-windshield or fail to complete a full sweep
• Wipers do not park correctly at the base of the windshield
• Intermittent or slow wiper motor operation
• Loss of front windshield wiping function
• Noise or binding from a worn motor assembly

Installation Notes

• Confirm your vehicle has the correct terminal count and mounting style before installation.
• Some vehicles with moisture-sensitive systems use a rain sensor mounted inside the windshield near the rearview mirror.
• If the motor does not operate after installation, bench test the wiper motor and washer pump; on some systems, a defective washer pump can prevent motor operation.
• If the wipers park in the wrong position and the vehicle does not use hidden wiper blades, check crank arm position on the motor shaft and reset it to the proper park angle.
• Use a vehicle-specific service manual for hidden-park reset procedures and final alignment.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactured wiper motors are tested against OE standards and verified through final functional testing on the vehicle. The remanufacturing process also supports reduced material use compared with producing a new part, while maintaining the performance targets expected from an OE replacement.
