Detailed Description

Cardone 42-318 is a remanufactured window lift motor for the front right position. It is built from original equipment cores and re-engineered to match OE performance, mounting, and regulator compatibility. This part number is used on select 1997-2004 Ford and Lincoln vehicles, including front right window motor applications on the Ford F-150, Ford F-150 Heritage, Ford Expedition, Ford F-250, and Lincoln Navigator. This part cross-references Ford F75Z7823394AA and XL1Z7823394AA for the same application.

The remanufacturing process includes inspection of internal gears, bearings, bushings, armatures, and magnets. For vehicles with auto up/down functions, output signals and pulse counts are matched to the application, and the motor is shipped in the full-up position. The Cardone 42-318 is intended for drivers who need a direct replacement for a worn, slow, or inoperative front right power window motor.

What This Part Helps Fix

• Front right power window that will not move up or down
• Slow or weak window travel
• Intermittent window motor operation
• Noisy window lift motor operation from worn internal components
• Window movement problems on Ford F-150, Ford Expedition, or Lincoln Navigator applications

Installation Notes

• Compatible With 1999-2003 Ford F-150, front right
• Compatible With 2004 Ford F-150 Heritage, front right
• Compatible With 1997-2002 Ford Expedition, front right
• Compatible With 1998-2001 Lincoln Navigator, front right
• Compatible With 2002 Lincoln Navigator, front right, with 9 tooth gear
• Compatible With 1999 Ford F-250, front right
• Do not bench-test an express-up or anti-pinch motor before it is coupled to the regulator; travel limits can be lost if the motor is operated out of position
• Some 2-wire motors rely on polarity reversal for direction control, while certain older designs ground through the housing
• If the vehicle uses an anti-pinch system, the motor may require a reset after installation if travel limits were disturbed

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured window lift motor is 100% tested, including load testing on a simulated window fixture. Internal parts are inspected and renewed, gears are gauged, and magnets are recharged to support reliable operation. The remanufacturing process also reduces raw material and energy use compared with producing a new part.
