About the Cardone Power Window Motor Product Line

The Cardone Power Window Motor line focuses on remanufactured window motors that provide reliable performance and fitment for a range of vehicle makes and models. This product line emphasizes quality restoration of electrical window components, ensuring compatibility and operational safety. The 42-3021 motor is part of this line, offering a balance of durability and environmental responsibility through its E-Waste compliance.

Product Details and Features

This window motor is remanufactured to meet OEM specifications and includes a gear for direct replacement. It uses a 2-wire electrical system, commonly grounded through the control switch, and mounts securely with three through holes. The motor is designed for use in the front right or rear left window positions on Ford Aviator, Explorer, and Mercury Mountaineer models. It does not include a regulator, so it is intended for use with existing window regulators.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

  • Restores power window function in Ford Explorer, Lincoln Aviator, and Mercury Mountaineer
  • Resolves noisy or popping window motor operation
  • Fixes windows that drop from the upper channel or fail to move properly
  • Addresses issues caused by worn or dry weather-strips and dirty switch contacts
  • Replaces motors that have lost power or run in only one direction

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation requires removal of the door panel and disconnection of the existing motor. The 42-3021 motor mounts using three through holes and connects via two wires. It is important to verify the motor location (front right or rear left) before installation. Follow the included instruction sheet carefully to ensure proper alignment and secure mounting. Avoid bench-testing the motor outside of its factory settings to prevent damage to the anti-pinch safety feature.
