Product Details

Cardone Power Window Motor 42-314 is remanufactured to restore factory-style window operation on older Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles. The motor is assembled to work with the original mounting and regulator layout, and the internal gear is inspected and renewed or replaced when out of specification. For applications with auto up/down features, output signals and pulse counts are matched to the vehicle application, and the motor ships in the full up position.

This part cross-references Ford D3AZ5723395A and Lincoln D3AZ5723395A for the same application. Common fitment includes Fits 1984-1992 Lincoln Mark VII, front right; Fits 1985-1989 Ford E-150 Econoline, front left; and Fits 1973-1979 Ford LTD, front left. The 42-314 is also listed for select Mercury Grand Marquis, Mercury Marquis, and Ford Thunderbird applications.

Common Problems This Motor Can Address

• Window glass that will not move up or down
• Slow or weak window operation
• Intermittent window movement from worn internal motor components
• Noisy or rough window travel caused by a failing lift motor
• Loss of factory-style window function after motor wear

Installation Notes

• Do not bench-test express up/down motors before they are coupled to the regulator.
• If the motor is operated before installation, travel limits may need to be reset.
• Vehicles with anti-pinch systems may require a reset after installation.
• Verify part numbers and inspect the original unit before installing outside the vehicle when notes call for physical confirmation.
• Some older 2-wire designs use polarity changes for direction control; wiring and switch condition should be checked during diagnosis.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured window lift motor is 100% tested and built from original equipment cores to support OE-style fit and function. The remanufacturing process also reduces raw material and energy use compared with producing a new part.
