Detailed Description

Cardone’s remanufactured wiper motor line traces back to the company’s first product category and remains focused on OE-style fit and function. Part number 40-443 is remanufactured to deliver the same basic operating characteristics expected from the original windshield wiper motor on the vehicle, with final testing performed after reconditioning. This makes it a practical replacement for front wiper motor service on Dodge Dakota, Dodge Durango, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Liberty, Mitsubishi Raider, and Ram Dakota applications listed in the fitment data.

This part cross-references Dodge 55154863AC and Jeep 55155092 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Inoperative front windshield wipers
• Slow or inconsistent wiper movement
• Wipers stopping in the middle of the windshield
• Poor parking position at the base of the windshield
• Noise or drag caused by worn internal motor components

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle uses the correct front wiper motor application before installation. This unit does not include a washer pump, and the fitment notes exclude washer pump compatibility. If the wipers do not park correctly, inspect crank arm position on the motor shaft and follow the vehicle-specific hidden park reset procedure when equipped. For moisture-sensitive systems, verify the rain sensor and control module operation before replacing the motor. Bench test the wiper motor and washer pump when diagnosing a no-operation concern.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured wiper motor is re-engineered and tested to match original equipment performance. The remanufacturing process also reduces energy and raw material use compared with producing a new part, supporting lower waste through reuse of serviceable components.
