Product Details

CARDONE’s Windshield Wiper Motor line is built around remanufactured OE components that are re-engineered, assembled, and function-tested to meet original performance expectations. Part number 40-1014 is a front wiper motor for Chevrolet Malibu, Chevrolet Classic, and Oldsmobile Cutlass applications listed in the fitment data. This part cross-references Chevrolet 12463095 and Oldsmobile 22154405 for the same application.

The remanufacturing process also reduces energy and raw material use compared with producing a new part, making it an earth-conscious replacement choice without changing the vehicle’s original mounting style or electrical connection type.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Wipers that stop in the middle of the windshield
• Slow, weak, or inconsistent wiper movement
• Wipers that do not park correctly at the bottom of the glass
• Electrical or mechanical wear inside the original motor
• Loss of reliable front windshield wiping on the listed vehicles

Installation Notes

Verify that the vehicle uses the listed front application before ordering. This motor uses a direct bolt mount and blade terminals, so connector style and mounting points should be checked against the original unit. If the vehicle has a hidden park system, parking alignment may require crank arm adjustment on the motor shaft after installation. For moisture-sensitive systems, confirm rain sensor and washer pump operation before replacing the motor, since some systems will not operate correctly if the washer pump has failed.

For 1997-2003 Chevrolet Malibu front, 2004-2005 Chevrolet Classic front, and 1997-1999 Oldsmobile Cutlass front applications, compare the original motor, crank arm position, and electrical connections before final assembly.

Quality Assurance

Each CARDONE remanufactured wiper motor is re-engineered and tested to match OE performance, with key internal components inspected and corrected during the remanufacturing process. The brand’s long-running focus on remanufactured wiper motors supports consistent fit and function for replacement service.
