Detailed Product Overview

This CARDONE window motor is built for drivers needing a remanufactured power window motor for 2000-2005 Buick LeSabre front left, 2005 Buick LeSabre rear right, 2004-2005 Pontiac Bonneville front left, or 2001-2005 Pontiac Bonneville rear right. The unit is re-engineered from OE cores, with gears inspected for wear and renewed or replaced when out of specification. For applications with auto up/down operation, output signals and pulse counts are matched to the vehicle application, and the motor ships in the full up position.

Part number 42-1005 is a practical choice when replacing a failed window lift motor on a Buick LeSabre or Pontiac Bonneville with the listed Kamco-type configuration. This part cross-references Pontiac 10387938 and 25713409 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Window glass will not move up or down
• Slow or weak window operation
• Intermittent power window movement
• Noisy motor operation from a worn lift motor
• Window stops before reaching full travel

Installation Notes and Tips

Install the motor with the regulator fully coupled before operating it. Do not bench-test an express up/down motor before installation, since doing so can cancel the upper limit position and require travel-limit reset. If the vehicle uses an anti-pinch system, the motor may need to be reset after installation if it was disturbed from its factory-set position. For 2-wire systems, verify polarity and wiring before diagnosis; if the motor runs in one direction only, the switch or wiring is often the source.

Some window noise or popping is caused by regulator cable or track issues rather than the motor itself. Inspect the regulator, weather-strip, tracks, and switch contacts during service.

Quality Assurance

CARDONE remanufactured window lift motors are tested, inspected, and renewed to match OE performance. The remanufacturing process also reduces energy and raw material use compared with producing a new part, supporting an earth-friendly repair approach.
