Product Details

Cardone’s remanufactured wiper motor line traces back to the company’s original product focus, and this part reflects that long-running specialization. Each unit is re-engineered and tested against OE standards, with core components such as the armature, field, bearing, parking switch, or pulse board evaluated before final functional testing. For Ford Windstar owners, 40-2034 provides a direct replacement path when the front windshield wiper motor has failed, parks incorrectly, or no longer delivers consistent sweep speed.

This part cross-references Ford 1F2Z17508AA and F78Z17508AA for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Help Solve

• Wipers stop working or move intermittently
• Wipers park in the wrong position on the windshield
• Slow, weak, or inconsistent wiper movement
• Noise or binding from a worn motor assembly
• Loss of front wiper function on a 1997-2003 Ford Windstar

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle uses the correct front wiper motor application before installation. If the vehicle has hidden park wipers, parking alignment may require crank arm adjustment on the motor shaft after installation. If the wiper system does not operate after replacement, inspect the washer pump as some systems will not run with a defective pump. Bench testing the motor and washer pump before installation can help isolate the fault.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured wiper motor is tested to OE performance standards, with final vehicle-function checks performed before release. The remanufacturing process also reduces energy and raw material use compared with producing a new part, supporting a more resource-efficient repair.
