Detailed Description

Cardone Power Window Motor 42-363 is remanufactured from Original Equipment cores and re-engineered to match O.E. performance. The motor is fully tested on a simulated window fixture, with internal parts inspected for wear, bushings re-impregnated with lubricant, bearings replaced as needed, and magnets recharged for efficient operation. For Ford Contour and Mercury Mystique owners, this part number provides a direct-fit replacement for the specified front right and rear right window motor applications.

This part cross-references Ford F5RZ5423394A and Mercury F5RZ5423394A for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Power window glass that will not move up or down
• Slow or weak window operation
• Intermittent window motor performance
• Noisy window lift motor operation caused by worn internal components
• Window movement issues on the front right or rear right door

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm vehicle year, make, model, and position before installation. This motor is for applications without the regulator, and the gear is included. For vehicles with auto-up or anti-pinch systems, do not bench-test the motor before it is fully coupled to the regulator, since travel limits can be affected. If the motor is disturbed from its factory-set position, follow the vehicle service procedure to reset the limits after installation. On 2-wire systems, direction is controlled by polarity, so wiring and switch condition should be verified if the motor runs in only one direction.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured window lift motor is 100% tested, including load testing on a simulated window fixture to verify speed and strength. The remanufacturing process is designed to reduce raw material and energy use compared with producing a new part, while renewing the motor for dependable service.
