Detailed Description

Cardone 42-3018 is a remanufactured power window motor built from original equipment cores and returned to service after inspection, reconditioning, and functional testing. It is designed to match OE mounting and regulator interfaces, making it a practical replacement when the original motor no longer raises or lowers the glass correctly. This part is listed for 2001-2007 Ford Escape front right, 2001-2005 Ford Escape rear right, 2005-2007 Mercury Mariner front right, and 2001-2006 Mazda Tribute front right. If you need a Ford Escape front right window motor or a Mazda Tribute power window motor, 42-3018 is the correct OE-style service part for those applications.

This part cross-references Ford 2L8Z7823200BA and Mazda EC0258560D for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Window glass that will not move up or down
• Slow, weak, or intermittent window operation
• Grinding or worn-motor symptoms at the door glass
• Loss of power window function on the front right or rear right door
• Noise caused by a failing motor assembly rather than the switch

Installation Notes and Tips

Install the motor in the factory-set position and couple it to the regulator before operating it. Express-up and anti-pinch systems should not be bench-tested before installation, since doing so can cancel travel limits and require a reset. If the vehicle uses an anti-pinch feature, follow the service manual procedure to relearn the window limits after installation. The package includes the window lift motor and instruction sheet; the regulator is not included.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured window lift motor is tested for speed and strength, with internal parts inspected and renewed to help maintain OE-level function. The remanufacturing process also reduces raw material and energy use compared with producing a new part, supporting a more resource-conscious repair.
