Detailed Description

The Cardone 42-152 window motor is engineered for vehicles that need a direct replacement for a worn or failed power window motor. It is remanufactured from original equipment cores, then inspected, gauged, and tested so the finished unit matches O.E. performance expectations. For applications such as Chevrolet Malibu, Chevrolet Uplander, Pontiac Montana, and Buick Terraza, this motor supports the original window lift system without requiring regulator replacement when the regulator is still serviceable.

This part cross-references Chevrolet 12363370 and Buick 10387104 for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Help Solve

• Window glass that will not move up or down
• Slow, weak, or inconsistent window operation
• Motor noise with reduced window travel

Do not bench-test an express-up motor before it is coupled to the regulator, since doing so can cancel the travel limits. If the vehicle uses an anti-pinch system, the motor may need to be reset after installation. For 2-wire systems, verify wiring polarity and switch function during diagnosis.

Quality Assurance

Each unit is 100% tested, including load testing on a simulated window fixture. Internal gears are inspected and renewed or replaced when out of specification, bushings are re-impregnated with lubricating oil, and bearings are replaced as needed. The remanufacturing process also reduces energy and raw material use compared with producing a new part.
