Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1997-2005 Buick Park Avenue, front. This application excludes washer pump compatibility. Before installation, verify the crank arm position if the wipers do not park correctly; hidden-park systems require the proper reset procedure from a vehicle-specific service manual. If the motor does not operate after installation, bench test the wiper motor and washer pump together, since some systems will not run with a defective washer pump. Confirm the terminal style, mounting type, and vehicle configuration before replacement.

Quality Assurance

Each CARDONE remanufactured wiper motor is built to match O.E. performance and tested through component-level checks and final vehicle-function verification. The remanufacturing process also supports reduced material and energy use compared with producing a new part.
