Product Details

Cardone 42-154 is a remanufactured window lift motor that began as an Original Equipment core and was re-engineered to match OE performance. The internal gear is inspected and renewed, and replacement gears use a stronger material than the original design when needed to help resist wear and stripping. For auto up/down applications, output signals and pulse counts are matched to the vehicle application, and the motor ships in the full-up position.

This part cross-references GM-style service numbers such as 10256557 and 12377235 for the same application. Use the part number 42-154 when verifying replacement needs for Buick Century, Buick Regal, Pontiac Grand Prix, or Oldsmobile Intrigue window repair.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Power window inoperative on the front left or rear left door
• Slow, weak, or inconsistent window movement
• Window motor noise caused by worn internal components
• Failure to raise or lower the glass smoothly
• Loss of proper OE-style window travel on supported applications

Installation Notes and Tips

• Fits 2002-2003 Pontiac Grand Prix, front left; 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix, front left; and 1997-2000 Pontiac Grand Prix, front left as listed
• Fits 1997-2001 Buick Century, front left and 1997-1998 Buick Century, rear left as listed
• Fits 1997-2001 Buick Regal, front left and 1997-1998 Buick Regal, rear left as listed
• Fits 1998-2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue, front left as listed
• Do not bench-test an express-up motor before it is fully coupled to the regulator; doing so can cancel travel limits
• If the motor is disturbed from its factory-set position, travel limits may need to be reset using the vehicle service procedure
• For anti-pinch systems, confirm the vehicle’s switch and module setup before installation
• Verify the original unit and mounting style against the vehicle before final installation, especially on applications where part numbers may be reversed
