Detailed Description

Cardone 40-2048 is a remanufactured windshield wiper motor built to restore front wiper function on compatible Ford and Mercury applications. Each unit is re-engineered, with core components checked against OE standards and the finished motor tested for function before release. This approach supports consistent park operation, sweep speed, and overall wiper performance on vehicles such as the Ford E-350 Super Duty and Mercury Grand Marquis.

The remanufacturing process also emphasizes durability and resource efficiency. Internal wear items are serviced as needed, magnets are recharged, and lubrication is applied to help the motor handle load over time. For shoppers searching for a 2005-2014 Ford E-150 windshield wiper motor, a 2003-2006 Ford Crown Victoria front wiper motor, or a 2003-2006 Mercury Grand Marquis wiper motor replacement, Cardone 40-2048 provides an OE-style solution.

This part cross-references Ford 3L5Z17508AA and Mercury 3W7Z17508AA for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Inoperative front windshield wipers
• Slow, erratic, or inconsistent wiper movement
• Wipers that stop mid-sweep or fail to park correctly
• Noise or binding from a worn wiper motor assembly
• Loss of reliable wiping performance in rain or road spray

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With front applications only. Verify the vehicle’s original connector style, mounting pattern, and washer pump arrangement before installation, since this motor excludes washer pump compatibility. If the wipers do not park correctly after installation, check crank arm position and reset the park alignment according to the vehicle service procedure. For moisture-sensitive systems, confirm whether the vehicle uses a rain sensor and related control module before replacing the motor.

Bench testing the wiper motor and washer pump before replacement can help isolate electrical or mechanical faults. This is especially important on vehicles where a defective washer pump can prevent motor operation.
