Product Details

The Cardone 40-394 windshield wiper motor is a remanufactured replacement designed for front windshield applications on select 1979-1984 Dodge and Chrysler vehicles. It is listed for intermittent wiper systems and for vehicles without a washer pump on the motor. This part cross-references Dodge 4205956 for the same application.

Compatible vehicle coverage includes 1979-1984 Dodge D150, 1979-1984 Dodge W150, 1981-1984 Dodge B150, and 1981-1984 Dodge Ramcharger, along with select Chrysler Imperial, New Yorker, Newport, LeBaron, and Town & Country applications. If you are searching for a remanufactured windshield wiper motor for a 1979 Dodge Aspen or a 1984 Dodge W100 front wiper system, this part number should be reviewed against your original unit and vehicle notes.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Front wipers stop moving or fail to start
• Intermittent wiper operation becomes inconsistent
• Wipers park in the wrong position after shutdown
• Motor noise increases while wiping performance drops
• Original motor shows wear from age, corrosion, or electrical failure

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify that your vehicle uses intermittent wipers and that the original setup does not require a washer pump on the motor before ordering the Cardone 40-394. If the wipers stop in the middle of the windshield, check crank arm position and hidden-park reset procedure before assuming the motor has failed. On some vehicles, a defective washer pump can prevent motor operation, so bench test both components when diagnosing the system.

Package contents include the wiper motor and instruction sheet. No washer pump is included.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactures this windshield wiper motor to OE performance standards, with final testing performed on the vehicle functions. The process includes component inspection, bearing service, magnet recharging, gear lubrication, and solder reflow to support reliable operation over time.
