Product Details

Cardone’s Windshield Wiper Motor line is built around remanufactured OE cores that are re-engineered to restore factory-style operation. The 40-2056 is processed with component-level inspection, electrical and mechanical testing, and final vehicle-function verification so the finished unit meets the demands of everyday windshield wiping performance. For Ford Freestar owners, this helps restore proper front wiper movement when the original motor has worn bearings, weak electrical connections, or reduced output.

This part cross-references Ford and Mercury OE numbers 3F2Z17508AA and 6F2Z17508CA for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Help Solve

• Front wipers stop moving or fail to sweep the windshield
• Wipers park in the wrong position after operation
• Intermittent or slow wiper motor response
• Noisy operation caused by worn internal motor components
• Reduced wiping performance from weakened motor output

Installation Notes

Fits 2004-2007 Ford Freestar, front. This unit uses a direct-bolt mounting style with blade terminals and does not include a washer pump. If the vehicle uses a moisture-sensitive wiper system, verify the rain sensor and control module operation before replacing the motor. If the wipers stop mid-sweep or do not park correctly, inspect crank arm position and follow the vehicle-specific hidden-park reset procedure when applicable.

Before installation, confirm the washer pump is functioning properly, since some wiper systems will not operate if the pump circuit has a fault. Bench testing the motor and washer pump before replacement can help isolate the cause of the failure.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured wiper motor is re-engineered to match O.E. performance and tested for proper function before release. The remanufacturing process also supports sustainability by reducing the energy and raw material required to produce a new part.
