Detailed Description

The Cardone 40-383 windshield wiper motor is a remanufactured replacement designed to match OE performance on a wide range of Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth front applications from 1984-1987. It is a direct-fit solution for vehicles including the Chrysler Fifth Avenue, Dodge Aries, and Plymouth Reliant, as well as other listed models that use this front-mounted wiper motor configuration. This part number 40-383 is built to restore proper wiper sweep, parking function, and motor response when the original unit has worn internal components.

This part cross-references Chrysler 4334104 and 4339449 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Intermittent or inoperative windshield wiper movement
• Wipers stopping in the middle of the windshield
• Poor parking position after shutdown
• Slow or inconsistent wiper motor operation
• Wear-related electrical or mechanical motor failure

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With front-mounted applications only. This unit does not include a washer pump, and the fitment notes exclude washer pump compatibility on listed vehicles. If the wipers do not park correctly after installation, the crank arm position on the motor shaft may need to be adjusted using the vehicle-specific hidden park reset procedure. For moisture-sensitive systems, verify whether the vehicle uses a rain sensor mounted inside the windshield near the rearview mirror before diagnosis.

If a new wiper motor does not operate after installation, inspect the washer pump as well; on some vehicles, a defective washer pump can prevent motor operation. Bench testing the wiper motor and washer pump before replacement can help isolate the fault.

Cardone remanufactures this wiper motor using a process that reduces the energy and raw material needed for a new part by 80%. The unit is re-engineered, tested, and validated to support OE-level function for long-term service on Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth front wiper applications.
