Product Details

The CARDONE 40-2036 windshield wiper motor is remanufactured to match original equipment performance and fitment. CARDONE’s wiper motor line traces back to its first product offering in 1970, and this part reflects that long-running focus on OE-level restoration. It is designed for front applications on select 2002-2009 Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury models, including the Ford Explorer, Ford Expedition, Ford F-150, Lincoln Town Car, and Mercury Mountaineer. This part cross-references Ford 2L1Z17508AA and 6L1Z17508AB for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Intermittent or inoperative windshield wiper movement
• Wipers stopping in the middle of the windshield
• Poor park position or hidden-park misalignment
• Weak or inconsistent wiper sweep speed
• Noise or drag caused by worn internal motor components

Verify whether the vehicle uses speed-sensitive intermittent wipers, rain-sensitive wipers, or a washer-pump-dependent circuit before installation. If the wipers park incorrectly and the vehicle does not use hidden wiper blades, adjust the crank arm position on the motor shaft using the vehicle-specific reset procedure. If the motor does not operate after replacing the washer pump, bench test both components; some systems will not run if the washer pump is faulty.

Quality Assurance

Each unit is remanufactured, tested against OE standards, and checked again for final vehicle function. CARDONE’s process focuses on restoring original performance while reducing waste through reuse of serviceable core components.
