Product Details

This Cardone Power Window Motor is engineered as a remanufactured OE replacement for the front right window on Saturn vehicles. The 42-197 window motor is built to match the original mounting and regulator interface, and it is tested on a simulated window fixture to verify output under load. For Saturn L300 window motor replacement needs, as well as Saturn L200, LW200, and LW300 front right power window repair, this part provides a direct-fit solution backed by Cardone’s long-running remanufacturing process.

This part cross-references Saturn 24416188 for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Help Resolve

• Front right window will not move up or down
• Slow, weak, or intermittent window operation
• Window stops before reaching full travel
• Noisy or rough power window movement caused by a worn motor
• Loss of consistent power window response from the switch

Installation Notes and Tips

• Compatible with vehicles that use a 2-wire front right window motor setup
• Do not bench-test express-up or auto-up motors before they are fully coupled to the regulator
• If the motor is disturbed from its factory-set position, travel limits may need to be reset after installation
• Inspect the regulator, tracks, switch, and wiring before replacing the motor
• For anti-pinch systems, follow the vehicle-specific service procedure after installation

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured window lift motor is 100% tested, including load testing on a simulated window fixture. Internal parts are inspected and gauged, bushings are re-impregnated with lubricant, bearings are replaced as needed, and armatures are tested for insulation. The remanufacturing process is designed to restore OE-level fit and function while reducing waste.
