Product Details

This Cardone Power Window Motor line focuses on remanufactured O.E.-style replacements that preserve factory mounting, regulator interface, and electrical behavior. Part number 42-309 is built for front left and front right window motor locations listed in the fitment data, and it uses a 2-wire configuration with gear included. For drivers searching for a Ford Taurus power window motor, Mercury Sable window motor, or Lincoln Continental window lift motor, this unit provides a remanufactured solution backed by Cardone’s long-running OE-core renewal process. This part cross-references Ford E6DZ5423394A and Lincoln E80Y5423394A for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Window glass will not move up or down
• Slow, weak, or inconsistent window operation
• Motor noise with little or no glass movement
• Intermittent operation from worn internal motor components
• Loss of factory-style window travel control on auto-up/auto-down systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1986-1995 Ford Taurus, front left. Fits 1986-1995 Mercury Sable, front left. Fits 1988-1993 Lincoln Continental, front right. Verify the part number and inspect the original unit before installation, especially when replacing a motor outside the vehicle. Do not bench-test an express-up/express-down motor before it is fully coupled to the regulator, since that can cancel the travel limits and require a reset. If the vehicle uses an anti-pinch system, follow the service manual procedure after installation. The motor is supplied without the regulator.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured window lift motor is inspected, gauged, and tested to match O.E. performance expectations. The remanufacturing process also reduces raw material and energy use compared with producing a new part, supporting a lower-waste repair choice.
