Detailed Description

Cardone 40-1038 is a rear windshield wiper motor designed for select 2002-2003 Oldsmobile Bravada, 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer, 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT, 2002 GMC Envoy, and 2002 GMC Envoy XL models. It cross-references GM OE part number 12487694 for the same application. This remanufactured unit is built to restore rear wiper movement, parking position, and dependable operation on vehicles that use a direct-bolt motor design.

As part of the Cardone Windshield Wiper Motor product line, this remanufactured assembly is re-engineered to match OE performance rather than simply cleaned and repackaged. That includes component-level inspection, electrical and mechanical testing, and final functional verification on the vehicle.

What It Helps Fix

• Rear wiper motor failure or no movement
• Wipers stopping in the wrong position or not parking correctly
• Intermittent rear wiper operation
• Weak or inconsistent rear wiper speed
• Noise or drag caused by worn internal motor components

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With 2002-2003 Oldsmobile Bravada, rear; 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer, rear; 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT, rear; 2002 GMC Envoy, rear; and 2002 GMC Envoy XL, rear. This part does not include a washer pump. If the vehicle uses a moisture-sensitive or hidden-park system, verify the original configuration before replacement. If the wipers stop in the middle of the windshield or do not park correctly, inspect crank arm position and follow the vehicle-specific reset procedure. If the washer pump is defective on a system that depends on it, the motor may not operate until that issue is corrected.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured wiper motor is built and tested to meet OE performance expectations. The remanufacturing process includes component inspection, electrical reconditioning, and final function testing to support reliable operation. E-waste reduction is part of the remanufacturing process, helping conserve materials while returning a serviceable OE-style part to use.
