Detailed Description

Cardone 40-3015 is a remanufactured windshield wiper motor engineered to match OE performance for front wiper systems. The remanufacturing process includes testing or gauging key components such as the armature, field, bearing, parking switch, or pulse board, followed by final functional testing on the vehicle. This helps deliver consistent operation for Chrysler Cirrus, Chrysler Sebring, Dodge Stratus, and Plymouth Breeze applications.

This part cross-references Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth OE number 5012170AA for the same application. The Cardone Windshield Wiper Motor product line is built around remanufactured OE parts that are restored, tested, and prepared for long-term service.

What It Helps Fix

• Inoperative front windshield wipers
• Slow or inconsistent wiper motor operation
• Wipers stopping in the middle of the windshield
• Poor parking position after motor replacement
• Noise or drag caused by worn internal motor components

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1998-2000 Chrysler Cirrus, front. Fits 1998-2000 Chrysler Sebring, front. Fits 1998-2000 Dodge Stratus, front. Fits 2000 Plymouth Breeze, front. This application excludes washer pump compatibility, so verify the vehicle’s washer pump and wiper circuit before installation. If the wipers do not park correctly, check crank arm position on the motor shaft and follow the vehicle-specific hidden park reset procedure when equipped.

For moisture-sensitive systems, confirm whether the vehicle uses a rain sensor mounted at the windshield near the rearview mirror. If the motor does not operate after installation, bench test the wiper motor and washer pump together, since some systems will not run if the washer pump has failed.

Quality Assurance

Each unit is remanufactured to OE standards and tested for function before release. Cardone’s remanufacturing process also reduces the energy and raw material needed to produce a new part by up to 80%, supporting a more resource-efficient repair choice.
