Product Details

Cardone’s Power Window Motor line focuses on remanufactured OE-style replacements that preserve factory fit and function. Part number 42-151 is engineered for vehicles that use a 2-terminal window lift motor and is shipped in the full-up position for auto-up/auto-down applications. For vehicles with express functions, the output signals and pulse counts are matched to the application so the motor communicates correctly with the window system.

This part cross-references Buick 22702139 and Chevrolet 12363371 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Window glass that will not move up or down
• Slow or weak window operation
• Intermittent window movement caused by worn motor internals
• Noisy operation from a worn or fatigued lift motor
• Loss of express-up or auto-down function after motor replacement

Do not bench-test an express-up motor before it is coupled to the regulator, or the travel limits can be cleared and the unit may need to be reset. If the vehicle uses an anti-pinch system, confirm the motor type before installation and follow the service manual procedure for setting limits after installation if required. For 2-wire motors, direction is controlled by polarity, so wiring and switch condition should be checked if the motor runs one way but not the other.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured window lift motor is tested, inspected, and renewed to support OE-level fit and function. The remanufacturing process also reduces energy and raw material use compared with producing a new part, making it an earth-friendly replacement choice.
