Product Details

The Cardone Windshield Wiper Motor line began with remanufactured wiper motors and remains focused on OE-style replacement quality. The 40-186 is a remanufactured front wiper motor with a blade terminal, grommet mounting type, and three mounting holes. It is supplied without a washer pump and includes the wiper motor and instruction sheet. For 1988-1990 Chevrolet C1500 and GMC K2500 trucks, as well as other listed C/K-series and P-series applications, this part supports proper windshield wipe function when the original motor has failed or lost parking accuracy.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Wipers do not move at all
• Wipers stop in the middle of the windshield
• Wipers park in the wrong position
• Intermittent or weak wiper motor operation
• Noise or inconsistent sweep from a worn motor assembly

Installation Notes

Verify that the vehicle uses a front wiper motor without intermittent wipers and without a washer pump before ordering. If the wipers park incorrectly, inspect crank arm position on the motor shaft and follow the vehicle-specific hidden park reset procedure when applicable. If the washer pump is defective on certain systems, the wiper motor may not operate; bench test both components before replacement. For moisture-sensitive systems, confirm the vehicle’s rain sensor and control module setup before diagnosis.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone 40-186 remanufactured wiper motor is tested against OE standards and then function-tested on the vehicle application. The remanufacturing process is designed to restore performance while reducing material and energy use compared with producing a new part.
