About the Cardone Windshield Wiper Motor Product Line

The Cardone Windshield Wiper Motor line focuses on providing remanufactured motors that meet or exceed OEM specifications. These motors are engineered to deliver consistent performance and durability for various vehicle applications. The 40-1003 part number is part of this line, offering a reliable solution for restoring windshield wiper operation on Chevrolet Astro and GMC Safari models.

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.

This Cardone wiper motor is remanufactured to meet industry standards and is compliant with E-Waste regulations, reflecting environmental responsibility. While specific warranty details are not provided here, Cardone products typically come with a limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Consult the product documentation or Cardone directly for exact warranty terms.
