Product Details

Cardone’s Windshield Wiper Motor line is built around remanufactured OE components, and part number 40-1088 follows that approach with testing of the armature, field, bearing, parking switch, or pulse board as applicable. The finished motor is then function-tested on the vehicle to verify operation. This rear wiper motor is listed for the Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent, and Suzuki XL-7, making it a direct replacement choice for rear wiper repair on those applications. This part cross-references Chevrolet 15952481 and Suzuki 3881078J01 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Rear wiper motor failure or no movement
• Intermittent rear wiper operation
• Wipers stopping in the wrong park position
• Slow or weak rear wiper sweep
• Noise from worn internal motor components

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2007-2009 Chevrolet Equinox, rear. Fits 2007-2009 Pontiac Torrent, rear. Fits 2007-2009 Suzuki XL-7, rear. This unit uses a blade terminal type and eyelet/grommet mounting with three mounting holes. Washer pump included: no. If the wipers do not park correctly and the vehicle does not use hidden wiper blades, check crank arm position on the motor shaft and reset it to the proper park angle using the vehicle service procedure. If the original system includes a moisture sensor or washer-pump interlock, bench test the wiper motor and washer pump before replacing either component.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactured wiper motors are re-engineered to match O.E. performance and are tested before release. The remanufacturing process also reduces energy and raw material use compared with producing a new part.
