Detailed Description

CARDONE 42-153 is a remanufactured window lift motor built from original equipment cores and restored to match O.E. performance standards. It is engineered for select 1997-2003 Buick, Pontiac, and Oldsmobile vehicles, including front right and rear right applications. This part cross-references Buick 10315138 and Pontiac 22154667 for the same application. For buyers searching for a 1997-2001 Buick Regal front right power window motor, a 2002-2003 Pontiac Grand Prix front right window motor, or a 1998-2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue front right window motor, this unit provides a direct replacement path.

Each motor is rebuilt with renewed internal gears, recharged magnets, inspected bushings, and tested armatures to support consistent window travel. The remanufacturing process also uses less raw material and energy than producing a new part, which reduces waste while returning a serviceable OE-style component to the vehicle.

Common Problems This Part Can Solve

• Window will not move up or down
• Slow or weak window operation
• Intermittent window movement from a worn motor
• Grinding or failed motor operation in the door
• Power window failure on the front right or rear right side

Installation Notes and Tips

• Fits 2002-2003 Pontiac Grand Prix, front right; 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix, front right before 02/2001; 1997-2000 Pontiac Grand Prix, front right; 1997-1998 Pontiac Grand Prix, rear right.
• Fits 1997-2001 Buick Century, front right; 1997-1998 Buick Century, rear right.
• Fits 1997-2001 Buick Regal, front right; 1997-1998 Buick Regal, rear right.
• Fits 1998-2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue, front right.
• Do not bench-test express-up or anti-pinch motors before they are fully coupled to the regulator; doing so can cancel travel limits.
• If the vehicle uses an anti-pinch system, the motor may require a reset after installation if its travel limits were disturbed.
• Verify the original unit, connector style, and mounting before installation, especially on applications where part numbers may be reversed.
