About the Cardone Power Window Motor Product Line
The Cardone Power Window Motor line focuses on delivering remanufactured electrical components that meet or exceed OEM specifications. This product line emphasizes reliability and safety, incorporating features such as anti-pinch technology to prevent window glass from causing injury or damage. The 42-370 motor is part of this line, offering a direct replacement solution for specific Ford and Mercury vehicles.
Product Details and Features
This window motor is designed with a through-hole mounting type and includes a phenolic gear, which contributes to quieter operation and longer service life. The motor operates with two wires and is grounded through the control switch, typical of many power window systems. The anti-pinch safety feature is monitored by an external module that detects internal gear rotation, preventing the window from closing on obstructions. This motor is remanufactured to provide a cost-effective alternative to new parts without compromising performance.
Common Issues Addressed by This Window Motor
- Window drops several inches from the upper channel
- Noisy operation or popping sounds during window movement
- Window fails to move or only operates in one direction
- Faulty or intermittent window switch response
- Loss of anti-pinch safety functionality
Installation Notes and Tips
Installation requires removal of the door panel to access the existing window motor. Ensure the motor is mounted securely using the three through-hole mounting points. Connect the two wires according to the vehicle’s wiring diagram, and verify the anti-pinch safety feature is functioning properly after installation. Avoid bench-testing the motor outside of its installed position to prevent damage to the anti-pinch mechanism.
