Product Details

The Cardone Windshield Wiper Motor line is rooted in remanufactured wiper motor production and focuses on OE-style fit and function. This Cardone 40-387 wiper motor is remanufactured to restore consistent wiper operation on vehicles such as the 1990-1996 Dodge Dakota, 1994-1996 Dodge Ram 1500, 1994-1996 Dodge Ram 2500, and 1994-1996 Dodge Ram 3500. It also serves select Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth front wiper applications from 1989-1996. This part cross-references Chrysler 4389131 and Dodge 4584260 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Inoperative front windshield wipers
• Slow, erratic, or inconsistent wiper movement
• Wipers stopping in the middle of the windshield
• Poor parking position at the base of the windshield
• Wear-related motor noise or reduced output

Before installation, verify the vehicle is set up for a motor without washer pump where noted.

If the motor does not operate after a washer pump swap, bench test both the wiper motor and washer pump before replacing parts.
