Product Details

CARDONE’s Windshield Wiper Motor line is built around remanufactured OE cores that are re-engineered, tested, and verified for function before release. Part number 40-1019 is designed for select 1997-2004 Chevrolet Corvette front wiper applications and is a practical replacement when the original motor no longer parks correctly, runs intermittently, or fails to move the blades with proper speed and sweep. This part cross-references Chevrolet OE numbers 12363318 and 12494759 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Wipers stop in the middle of the windshield
• Wiper motor does not run or runs inconsistently
• Poor parking position after motor replacement
• Reduced sweep speed or weak wiping action
• Failure caused by worn internal bearings, solder joints, or magnets

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle uses the correct front wiper motor application before installation. If the vehicle does not have hidden wiper blades, parking misalignment is often related to crank arm position; adjust the crank arm angle on the motor shaft to restore proper park position. For moisture-sensitive systems, confirm the rain sensor and washer pump are functioning, since some systems will not operate correctly if the washer pump is defective. Bench test the wiper motor and washer pump before replacing either component.

Quality Assurance

Each CARDONE remanufactured wiper motor is tested against OE standards, then checked again for final vehicle function. The remanufacturing process is built to restore original performance characteristics while reducing energy and raw material use compared with manufacturing a new part.
