Product Details

Cardone’s Windshield Wiper Motor line is built around remanufactured OE units that are restored to factory-style operation. The 40-298 follows that approach with tested armature, field, bearing, parking switch, or pulse board components, then a final vehicle-function check. This part is for front applications with a 2 plug motor, no washer pump, 3 mounting holes, grommet mounting, and blade terminals. This part cross-references Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury OE number E7DZ17508A for the same application. Use Cardone 40-298 when replacing a worn front wiper motor on a Ford Taurus, Mercury Sable, or Lincoln Continental with the listed configuration.

What It Helps Fix

• Inoperative front windshield wipers
• Slow, erratic, or inconsistent wiper movement
• Wipers that stop mid-sweep
• Poor parking position at the base of the windshield
• Noise or drag from a worn motor or gear set

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1987-1993 Ford Taurus, front; 1987-1993 Mercury Sable, front; and 1988-1994 Lincoln Continental, front, with 2 plug motor and no washer pump. Confirm the connector style, mounting type, and vehicle configuration before installation. If the wipers park incorrectly and the vehicle does not use hidden blades, check crank arm position on the motor shaft and follow the vehicle service manual reset procedure. If the motor does not operate after installation, bench test the wiper motor and washer pump before replacing either component, since some systems will not run with a faulty washer pump.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone 40-298 remanufactured wiper motor is built and tested to OE standards for fit, function, and durability. The remanufacturing process restores key wear items, recharges magnets, and reflows solder points to support reliable operation in daily use.
