Product Details

CARDONE has built its reputation on remanufactured wiper motors, and the 40-2030 continues that product line with OE-style fit and function. This rear wiper motor is designed for vehicles that use a pin terminal and grommet mounting style, with three mounting holes and no washer pump included. It is a practical replacement for rear wiper motor failure on 1997-2002 Ford Expedition, 1998-2001 Ford Explorer, 2001-2002 Ford Explorer Sport, 1998-2002 Lincoln Navigator, and 1998-2001 Mercury Mountaineer. This part cross-references Ford and Lincoln applications such as F75Z17508AA and XL1Z17508AA for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Help Solve

• Rear wiper blade does not move
• Wiper stops in the middle of the glass
• Intermittent rear wiper operation
• Parking position is incorrect after motor replacement
• Loss of rear wiper function on Ford Expedition, Explorer, Navigator, Explorer Sport, or Mountaineer

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear wiper motor diagnosis before replacement, especially if the washer pump circuit is involved. Some systems will not operate correctly if the washer pump is defective, so bench test the wiper motor and washer pump before installing a new unit. If the wipers do not park correctly and the vehicle does not use hidden wiper blades, adjust the crank arm angle on the motor shaft to reset park position according to the vehicle service procedure. Confirm connector style, mounting type, and rear application before installation.

Quality Assurance

Each CARDONE remanufactured wiper motor is re-engineered to match original equipment performance and tested through component-level checks and final functional verification. The remanufacturing process supports reliable operation while reducing material and energy use compared with producing a new part.
