Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s original configuration before installation, especially on 1989 applications that note a 2-3/8 inch motor housing or a build-date requirement. This part does not include a washer pump, and some vehicles will not operate the motor correctly if the washer pump is defective. Bench test the wiper motor and washer pump before replacement when diagnosing a no-operation concern.

If the wipers park incorrectly and the vehicle does not use hidden wiper blades, check crank arm position on the motor shaft and reset it to the proper park angle using a vehicle-specific service manual. For moisture-sensitive systems, confirm the rain sensor and control module are functioning before replacing the motor.

Quality Assurance

Every Cardone remanufactured wiper motor is tested against OE standards, with final function checks performed on the vehicle-level operation. The remanufacturing process includes component inspection, bearing service, magnet recharging, lubrication, and solder-point rework to support dependable performance in daily use.
