Detailed Description

Cardone 42-3022 is a remanufactured window lift motor engineered to match original equipment performance and mounting requirements. It is built for select 2002-2004 Ford Explorer, Mercury Mountaineer, and Lincoln Aviator applications, including front left and rear right positions listed in the fitment data. This part cross-references Ford 1L2Z7823395AA for the same application.

During remanufacturing, the motor is disassembled, inspected, and rebuilt with renewed internal parts where needed. Bushings are gauged and re-oiled, bearings are replaced, gears are inspected for wear, and the motor is assembled with the correct lubricant amount to support quiet, reliable window operation. For auto up/down systems, output signals and pulse counts are matched to the vehicle application, and the motor ships in the full-up position.

What It Helps Fix

• Slow or weak power window movement
• Window that stops before reaching the top or bottom
• Intermittent window operation from a worn motor
• Noisy window lift motor operation
• Failure of the window to move in one direction
