• Parking position issues where the blades stop in the wrong location
• Reduced wiper speed or inconsistent movement
• Noise or wear related to internal motor components

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle uses the listed front application and the correct configuration before installation. This unit uses direct bolt mounting and blade terminals, and it is specified without a washer pump. If the vehicle has hidden park wipers and the blades stop out of position, the crank arm angle on the motor shaft may need to be adjusted using the vehicle-specific hidden park reset procedure. If the motor does not operate after installation, bench test the wiper motor and washer pump before replacing either component, since some systems will not run if the washer pump has failed.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured wiper motor is rebuilt and tested to meet OE performance expectations. The remanufacturing process restores critical internal parts, recharges magnets, and reworks solder joints to support reliable operation. Cardone’s remanufactured wiper motor program has been part of the brand’s product history since 1970.
