Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle uses a 2-wire window motor with the correct front left or front right application before installation. This unit ships in the full-up position for auto up/down applications and should not be bench-tested before it is fully coupled to the regulator. If the motor is operated out of position, travel limits may need to be reset according to the vehicle service procedure. Inspect the regulator, tracks, switch, and wiring if the window still binds or runs in only one direction.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone 42-145 remanufactured window lift motor is tested, inspected, and renewed to support dependable operation. The remanufacturing process also reduces energy and raw material use compared with producing a new part, making it an earth-conscious replacement choice.
