• Internal components inspected, gauged, and renewed
• Magnets recharged for consistent motor efficiency
• 2-wire design with 5 mounting holes and through-hole mounting
• Gear included; regulator not included
• Earth-friendly remanufacturing process reduces raw material and energy use

Detailed Product Overview

Cardone 42-3040 is a remanufactured power window motor for the front left position on 2004-2008 Ford F-150 and 2006-2008 Lincoln Mark LT. It is built to match the original mounting and regulator interface, making it a practical replacement when the factory window motor has failed, slowed down, or stopped responding. This part cross-references Ford 4L3Z1523201CA and 6L3Z1523201BA for the same application.

During remanufacturing, the motor’s bushings are re-impregnated with lubricant, bearings are replaced as needed, gears are inspected for wear, and the armature is tested for insulation. For vehicles with auto up/down operation, output signals and pulse counts are matched to the application so the motor can communicate correctly with the window system.

Common Problems This Part Can Solve

• Front left window will not move up or down
• Slow, weak, or intermittent window operation
• Motor noise without normal glass movement
• Window stops before reaching full travel
• Failed OE motor on Ford F-150 or Lincoln Mark LT applications

Installation Notes and Tips

• Fits 2004-2008 Ford F-150, front left.
• Fits 2006-2008 Lincoln Mark LT, front left.
• Do not bench-test express up/down motors before they are coupled to the regulator; doing so can cancel travel limits.
• If the motor is disturbed from its factory-set position, travel limits may need to be reset after installation.
• Confirm the vehicle uses a 2-wire motor configuration before replacement.

Quality Assurance

Each CARDONE remanufactured window lift motor is tested for operation and built from inspected OE cores to support consistent performance. The remanufacturing process also reduces energy and raw material use compared with producing a new part.
