What It Helps Fix

• Wipers that stop in the middle of the windshield
• Intermittent or slow wiper motor operation
• Loss of parking position at the bottom of the windshield
• Wiper motor failure related to worn internal components
• Noise or reduced output from a worn remanufactured or original motor

Installation Notes

Confirm vehicle fitment by year, make, model, and front position before installation. Some applications note washer pump compatibility exclusions, so verify the existing system configuration before replacing the motor. If the vehicle uses a hidden park setup, the crank arm position may need to be adjusted to restore proper park alignment. For moisture-sensitive systems, check for a rain sensor mounted inside the windshield near the rearview mirror and diagnose the control module and washer pump as part of the system.

If the new motor does not operate after installation, inspect the washer pump and related wiring before assuming the motor is defective. Cardone notes that some wiper motors will not run if the washer pump has failed. Bench testing both components can help isolate the fault.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured wiper motor is tested against OE standards and then function-tested on the vehicle. The remanufacturing process is designed to restore performance while reducing waste through reuse of core materials and controlled reconditioning. E-waste: Yes.
