Product Details

This Cardone Power Window Motor line focuses on remanufactured OE-style replacements that match factory mounting, regulator interface, and output characteristics. The 42-3120 is built for applications that require a 2-wire motor with through-hole mounting and three mounting holes, and it is supplied in the full-up position for auto up/down systems. For Ford Taurus and Ford Explorer owners, this part number is a practical choice when the original window motor is slow, noisy, or no longer moving the glass correctly.

This part cross-references Ford AG1Z5423394B and BB5Z7823395B for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Window glass will not raise or lower
• Slow or weak window movement
• Intermittent operation from worn internal motor components
• Noisy window operation caused by a failing motor
• Loss of proper auto-up or auto-down function after motor wear

Installation Notes

Fits 2010-2014 Ford Taurus, rear right; 2011-2013 Ford Explorer, rear left; and 2012-2013 Ford Explorer, front left. Regulator not included. Because this is an express-style motor shipped in the full-up position, do not bench-test it before installation into the regulator. If the motor is disturbed before coupling, travel limits may need to be reset using the vehicle service procedure. For anti-pinch systems, confirm the vehicle’s switch and terminal count before installation.

Quality Assurance

Each unit is remanufactured from original equipment cores, then inspected, gauged, reassembled with the correct lubricant, and tested for performance. Cardone’s remanufacturing process also reduces raw material and energy use compared with producing a new part, supporting an earth-friendly repair choice.
