Product Details

Cardone’s Windshield Wiper Motor line traces back to the company’s first remanufactured product offering in 1970. The 40-3010 continues that legacy with a remanufactured design built to restore front wiper function on Neon platforms. This part cross-references Dodge and Plymouth OE numbers 5011390AA and 5014790AA for the same application.

Compatible With 1998-2005 Dodge Neon, front; 2000-2002 Chrysler Neon, front; and 1998-2001 Plymouth Neon, front. Notes for the Dodge Neon and Plymouth Neon applications indicate washer pump compatibility exclusions.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Front wipers not moving or responding
• Wipers stopping in the middle of the windshield
• Poor park position or misaligned wipe cycle
• Intermittent or inconsistent wiper motor operation
• Wear-related motor noise or reduced output

Installation Notes and Tips

Package contents include the wiper motor and instruction sheet. Washer pump is not included. Before replacement, bench test the wiper motor and washer pump if the original system showed no operation, since a defective washer pump can prevent some motors from running. If the wipers do not park correctly and the vehicle does not use hidden wiper blades, adjust the crank arm position on the motor shaft using the vehicle-specific hidden-park reset procedure.

For moisture-sensitive systems, a rain sensor mounted inside the windshield near the rearview mirror sends input to the wiper control module, which then adjusts motor speed. If your vehicle uses that setup, verify the sensor and control module before replacing the motor.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured wiper motor is built and tested to match O.E. performance, with key internal components checked against original standards before final vehicle testing. The remanufacturing process also supports reduced material use compared with producing a new part.
