Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Wipers that stop mid-sweep or fail to return to park
• Slow, erratic, or inconsistent wiper movement
• Noisy operation from worn internal bearings or gears
• Intermittent operation caused by worn electrical contacts or solder joints
• Loss of windshield wiping function on the front system

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle uses the correct one-plug motor and does not require washer pump compatibility before installation. If the wipers do not park correctly after replacement, inspect crank arm position on the motor shaft and reset it to the proper park angle using the vehicle service procedure. On moisture-sensitive systems, confirm the rain sensor and washer pump are functioning before replacing the motor, since some systems will not operate if the washer pump has failed.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured wiper motor is tested against OE standards and checked for function before release. The remanufacturing process reuses serviceable OE materials, supports reliable operation, and reduces waste compared with producing a new part.
