Product Details

Cardone Power Window Motor 42-3031 is built for drivers needing a replacement front left window motor for a Ford Freestar or Ford Windstar. It is remanufactured from OE cores and renewed to meet original mounting and regulator compatibility. The motor is assembled with the correct lubricant, renewed internal gearing, and tested output to help deliver reliable window movement in daily use. This part cross-references Ford 3F2Z1623201AA and 6F2Z7823394BA for the same application.

Compatible With: Fits 2004-2007 Ford Freestar, front left. Fits 1999-2003 Ford Windstar, front left. Cardone 42-3031 is a practical OE-style solution when the original power window motor no longer raises or lowers the glass correctly.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Window glass will not move up or down
• Slow, weak, or intermittent window operation
• Motor noise with little or no glass movement
• Power window failure on the front left door
• Worn internal motor components affecting window travel

Installation Notes

• Fits the front left position only for the listed Ford Freestar and Ford Windstar applications.
• Regulator is not included, so inspect the window regulator and tracks before installation.
• For auto-up or anti-pinch systems, do not bench-test the motor before it is fully coupled to the regulator.
• If the motor is disturbed from its factory-set position, travel limits may need to be reset using the vehicle service procedure.
• Verify the vehicle uses the correct 2-wire configuration and threaded stud mounting before installation.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured window lift motor is 100% tested, including simulated window loading to verify speed and strength. Internal gears, bushings, bearings, and armatures are inspected and renewed or replaced as needed, and the motor magnets are recharged to support consistent performance. The remanufacturing process also reduces energy and raw material use compared with producing a new part.
