Product Details

The Cardone Windshield Wiper Motor line was built around remanufactured wiper motors from the start, and the 40-176 continues that focus with OE-based engineering and testing. This remanufactured wiper motor is designed for front windshield applications and uses a grommet mounting type with a blade terminal connection. It does not include a washer pump, so verify your vehicle’s washer pump condition before installation. This part cross-references Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac OE numbers for the same application, including 22054198 and 22072789.

What It Helps Fix

• Slow or inconsistent windshield wiper movement
• Wipers that stop in the middle of the windshield
• Failure of the wiper motor to park correctly
• Noise or wear related to aging motor bearings and internal components
• Electrical performance issues tied to worn solder joints or weakened motor magnets

Installation Notes

Confirm the vehicle uses a front-mounted wiper motor with a grommet mount and blade terminals before ordering. If the wipers do not park correctly after installation, the crank arm position may need to be adjusted on the motor shaft using the vehicle-specific hidden park reset procedure. If the vehicle has a moisture-sensitive wiper system, inspect the rain sensor and control module operation as part of diagnosis. When the original motor and washer pump are linked in operation, bench test both components before replacing either one.

Quality Assurance
