Cardone 40-1025 Windshield Wiper Motor - Front

Remanufactured OE-Style Wiper Motor

Restore dependable windshield wiping performance with this remanufactured CARDONE windshield wiper motor. Built to match original equipment operation, Part Number 40-1025 is engineered for direct-fit replacement on select Pontiac Montana, Oldsmobile Silhouette, and Pontiac Trans Sport front applications.

The CARDONE wiper motor line traces back to the company’s first product offering in 1970, and this remanufactured unit continues that focus on OE-level fit and function. If you need a replacement for a 1999-2005 Pontiac Montana front wiper motor, a 1997-2004 Oldsmobile Silhouette front wiper motor, or a 1997-1998 Pontiac Trans Sport front wiper motor, 40-1025 is built for that application.

Product Details

CARDONE Part Number 40-1025 is a remanufactured windshield wiper motor designed for front wiper systems on select GM minivans. It is a direct bolt unit with three mounting holes and no washer pump included. This part cross-references Pontiac 12365393 for the same application.

Because this is a remanufactured OE-style component, it is built to restore consistent wiper sweep, parking position, and motor response. It is a practical choice for drivers searching for a 1999-2005 Pontiac Montana windshield wiper motor, a 1997-2004 Oldsmobile Silhouette front wiper motor, or a 1997-1998 Pontiac Trans Sport wiper motor replacement.

Common Problems This Part May Address

• Wipers stop mid-windshield or fail to return to park
• Intermittent or slow wiper motor operation
• Loss of windshield wiping function at the front position
• Noise or wear related to internal motor components
• Poor electrical contact from worn terminals or solder joints

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle fitment by year, make, model, and front position before installation. If the vehicle uses a moisture-sensitive wiper system, confirm the rain sensor and control module operation as part of diagnosis. For hidden-park systems, crank arm position can affect parking alignment; adjust the crank arm angle on the motor shaft if the blades do not park at the bottom of the windshield.

If the original issue involved the washer pump, bench test both the wiper motor and washer pump before replacing either component. This part does not include a washer pump, and some systems will not operate correctly if the washer pump is defective.

Quality Assurance

Each CARDONE remanufactured wiper motor is re-engineered, built, and tested to match OE performance. The remanufacturing process also reduces energy and raw material use compared with producing a new part, supporting lower waste through reuse of serviceable core components.
