About the Cardone Windshield Wiper Motor Product Line

Product Details and Features
This wiper motor features a blade-type terminal for electrical connection and mounts directly to the vehicle using three mounting holes. It is designed to work with vehicles that may or may not have moisture sensors integrated into their wiper systems. Moisture sensors monitor rainfall accumulation on the windshield to adjust wiper speed automatically, and this motor supports such systems where applicable. Note that the washer pump is not included with this motor, so the existing pump can be reused if functional.
Common Issues Addressed by This Wiper Motor
- Wiper motor failure causing intermittent or no wiper movement
- Wipers stopping mid-swipe on the windshield
- Incompatibility with moisture sensor-equipped wiper systems
- Wiper motor noise or irregular operation
- Wear and tear from prolonged use or environmental exposure
Installation Notes and Tips
Installation requires removing the old wiper motor and securing the new motor using the direct bolt mounting points. Ensure the blade-type terminals are properly connected to avoid electrical issues. If your vehicle is equipped with a moisture sensor, verify sensor compatibility and wiring before installation. The package includes an instruction sheet to assist with the installation process.
