Product Details

Cardone Power Window Motor 42-3049 is engineered as a remanufactured OE replacement for rear right window service. The motor is rebuilt from original equipment cores, then inspected and tested to match OE performance expectations. For vehicles such as the 2004 Ford Explorer, 2004 Mercury Mountaineer, and 2004-2005 Lincoln Aviator, this rear right window motor is a direct-fit solution when the original unit no longer operates correctly. This part cross-references Ford 4L2Z7823395AB and 6L2Z7823395AA for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Rear right power window does not move up or down
• Window movement is slow, weak, or inconsistent
• Motor runs but the glass does not travel properly
• Noisy or rough window operation from a worn motor
• Intermittent window function caused by internal motor wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle uses a 2-wire rear right window motor before installation. This unit is shipped with the gear included and the regulator excluded, so inspect the regulator, tracks, and weather-stripping before reassembly. Do not bench-test an express-up or anti-pinch motor before it is fully coupled to the regulator, since travel limits can be affected. If the motor is disturbed from its factory-set position, follow the vehicle service procedure to reset the limits after installation.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured window lift motor is 100% tested, including load testing on a simulated window fixture. Internal parts are inspected and gauged, bushings are re-impregnated with lubricating oil, bearings are replaced as needed, and armatures are tested for insulation integrity. The remanufacturing process is designed to restore OE-level fit and function while reducing material and energy use.
