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.

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.

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.
