Product Line Details

Cardone’s Windshield Wiper Motor line focuses on remanufactured OE-style replacements. Part number 40-2023 follows that approach by restoring critical internal components and verifying operation before release, making it a practical choice for rear wiper service on the Nissan Quest and Mercury Villager.

Detailed Description

Cardone 40-2023 is a remanufactured rear windshield wiper motor for 1996-2000 Nissan Quest and 1994-1998 Mercury Villager models equipped without an opening rear window and without a washer pump. This part cross-references Nissan 287001B000 and 287001B700 for the same application. It is built to restore rear wiper movement, parking function, and consistent motor output where the original unit has failed or become erratic.

As a remanufactured OE part, this motor is rebuilt around original specifications rather than adapted from a universal design. That helps support proper mounting, electrical connection, and park position on the rear wiper system. The Cardone remanufacturing process also addresses wear points inside the motor, including bearings, solder joints, magnets, and gear lubrication.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Rear wiper motor does not run
• Rear wiper stops in the middle of the glass
• Rear wiper parks incorrectly after operation
• Intermittent rear wiper movement
• Noise or weak output from the rear wiper motor

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With 1996-2000 Nissan Quest, rear, without opening rear window; motor without washer pump. Compatible With 1994-1998 Mercury Villager, rear, without opening rear window; motor without washer pump. Confirm the vehicle uses a rear wiper motor without a washer pump before ordering. If the wiper motor does not operate after installation, inspect the washer pump circuit as some systems will not run with a defective pump. If park position is off and the vehicle does not use hidden wiper blades, check crank arm alignment on the motor shaft and reset it according to the service procedure.
