Product Details and Features

This remanufactured window motor includes a gear and is designed for vehicles requiring a 2-wire motor with through-hole mounting and three mounting holes. It is compatible with models such as the Buick LeSabre, Cadillac DeVille, Chevrolet Corsica, Oldsmobile Delta 88, and Pontiac Bonneville.

The motor’s design supports smooth operation and reduces noise often caused by worn weather-strips or faulty wiring.

Common Issues Addressed by This Window Motor

  • Power window failing to operate or moving slowly
  • Window dropping several inches from the upper channel
  • Noisy or popping sounds during window operation
  • Window motor running in only one direction
  • Intermittent window movement due to faulty motor or wiring

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Cardone 42-103 window motor, ensure the motor is mounted securely using the three through-hole mounting points. Verify the wiring connections correspond to the vehicle’s power window switch and control module. Avoid bench-testing the motor outside of the vehicle to prevent damage to the anti-pinch safety feature. Inspect window tracks and weather-stripping for wear or debris that may affect motor performance.
