Product Details

Cardone’s Windshield Wiper Motor line focuses on remanufactured OE-style replacement parts that restore factory operation without changing the original mounting or electrical layout. Part number 40-3045 uses a blade terminal type and mounts with eyelet and grommet points, with three mounting holes. This rear wiper motor is listed for 2008-2020 Dodge Grand Caravan rear, 2008-2016 Chrysler Town & Country rear, and 2012-2015 Ram C/V rear applications. This part cross-references Chrysler, Dodge, and Ram Trucks OE numbers for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Rear wiper motor failure or no-operation condition
• Slow, weak, or inconsistent rear wiper movement
• Wiper parking problems after motor wear or electrical degradation
• Noise caused by worn bearings or gear wear
• Intermittent operation related to internal solder or component fatigue

Installation Notes

• Confirm rear application and match the vehicle’s original connector and mounting style before installation
• Bench test the wiper motor and washer pump before replacing either, especially on systems where washer pump faults can prevent motor operation
• If the vehicle does not use hidden wiper blades, parking misalignment is often corrected by adjusting the crank arm angle on the motor shaft
• For moisture-sensitive systems, verify the rain sensor and control module operation if wiper speed or response is abnormal
• Use a vehicle-specific service manual for hidden-park reset procedures when required
