Detailed Description

Cardone remanufactured window lift motors are built from original equipment cores and re-engineered to match OE performance. The remanufacturing process includes inspection of the armature, bearings, bushings, gears, and magnets, along with functional testing under load. That process helps deliver a window motor that installs with the correct mounting and regulator interface for the application.

Fits 1981-1989 Lincoln Town Car, front left; fits 1984-1987 Lincoln Continental, front left; fits 1984-1987 Lincoln Continental, rear left; fits 1980 Lincoln Continental, front left; fits 1980-1983 Lincoln Mark VI, front left. This part cross-references Lincoln E0VY6623395B and E1VY6623395A for the same application.

Common Repair Applications

• Window glass that moves slowly or stops before reaching full travel
• Motor noise, weak operation, or inconsistent window speed
• Failure of the front left or rear left power window function
• Wear-related issues in the motor’s internal gears, bearings, or bushings
• Loss of smooth operation after long-term use in Lincoln Town Car, Continental, or Mark VI models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s window motor configuration before installation, especially on 2-wire systems and applications with auto-up or anti-pinch features. Do not bench-test an express-up motor before it is fully coupled to the regulator, since that can cancel the travel limits and require a reset. If the motor is installed and left undisturbed in its factory-set position, reset is typically not needed.

Check the regulator, tracks, weather-strip, and switch contacts if the window still binds or operates noisily after replacement. For case-grounded designs, apply ground to the housing as required by the vehicle service procedure.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactured window lift motors are tested for load, speed, and strength, with internal parts inspected and renewed during the remanufacturing process. The brand’s process is designed to restore OE-level fit and function while reducing raw material and energy use compared with producing a new part.
