About the Cardone Windshield Wiper Motor Product Line

The Cardone Windshield Wiper Motor line focuses on providing remanufactured motors that meet or exceed OEM specifications. These motors are engineered to work with vehicles that may have advanced features such as moisture sensors, which monitor rainfall accumulation on the windshield to adjust wiper operation automatically. The 40-1043 model is designed to integrate seamlessly with these systems, ensuring reliable performance and compatibility.

Product Details and Features

This wiper motor features a blade-type terminal for secure electrical connections and mounts directly to the vehicle using three mounting holes with grommet support to reduce vibration. It is remanufactured to restore functionality and durability, making it a practical replacement for worn or failing wiper motors. The motor does not include a washer pump, so the existing pump can be reused if still functional.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

  • Replacement for malfunctioning or non-responsive wiper motors on Chevrolet Alero and Cavalier
  • Restores proper wiper operation on Oldsmobile Alero and Pontiac Grand Am with moisture sensor systems
  • Fixes intermittent stopping of wipers in the middle of the windshield
  • Resolves issues where wiper blades do not park correctly or fail to clear the windshield effectively
  • Supports vehicles where the wiper motor is not defective but requires replacement due to wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation requires direct bolting of the motor using the three mounting holes and grommet mounts. Ensure the blade-type terminals are securely connected to the vehicle’s wiring harness. If your vehicle is equipped with a moisture sensor, verify sensor functionality after installation. The washer pump is not included, so retain the existing pump if it remains operational. Follow the included instruction sheet for detailed installation guidance.
