• Gear included; regulator not included
• 2-wire design with 3 mounting holes and through-hole mounting

OE-Style Performance and Fit

Cardone remanufactured window lift motors are re-engineered from original cores to match O.E. performance and mounting requirements. The 42-3059 is assembled with the correct lubricant for quiet operation, and its internal gears are inspected and renewed to help resist premature wear. For vehicles with auto up/down functions, output signals and pulse counts are matched to the application, and the motor ships in the full up position.

This part cross-references Ford 6L2Z7823395BA and 7L2Z7823201BA for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Front left power window no longer moves up or down
• Slow, weak, or inconsistent window travel
• Noisy motor operation from worn internal components
• Window movement loss caused by a failed motor assembly
• Auto-up or auto-down function not operating correctly after motor replacement

Installation Notes and Tips

• Fits 2006-2007 Ford Explorer, front left
• Fits 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, front left
• Fits 2006-2007 Mercury Mountaineer, front left
• Do not bench-test an express up/down motor before it is fully coupled to the regulator
• If the motor is operated before installation, travel limits may need to be reset using the vehicle service procedure
• Inspect the regulator, tracks, switch, and wiring if the window still binds or stops early

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 lubricant, bearings are replaced as needed, and armatures are tested for insulation integrity. The remanufacturing process also reduces raw material and energy use compared with producing a new part.
