Detailed Description

Cardone Power Window Motor 42-371 is engineered as a remanufactured O.E.-style replacement for rear left window service. It is built to match the original mounting and regulator interface, and for auto up/down applications the output signals and pulse counts are matched to the vehicle application. The motor is shipped in the full up position, which is important for proper setup on express-window systems.

This part cross-references Ford 1L2Z7823395BC and F57Z7823395AA for the same application. It is a strong fitment-focused solution for 1995-2001 Ford Explorer rear left window repair, 2001-2004 Ford Explorer Sport Trac rear left window repair, and 1997-2001 Mercury Mountaineer rear left window repair.

What It Helps Fix

• Rear left window that will not move up or down
• Slow or weak window travel
• Intermittent window motor operation
• Noisy or rough window movement caused by a worn motor
• Express-up or auto-up function issues after motor failure

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1995-2001 Ford Explorer, rear left; fits 2001-2004 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, rear left; fits 1997-2001 Mercury Mountaineer, rear left. Verify the part number by physical inspection before installing outside the vehicle. This unit uses 2 wires, 3 mounting holes, and a through-hole mounting type. The gear is included, and the regulator is not included.

Do not bench-test an express-up motor before it is fully coupled to the regulator, since doing so can cancel the travel limits and require a reset. If the vehicle uses an anti-pinch system, travel limits may need to be relearned after installation according to the service procedure. For 2-wire motors, direction is controlled by polarity; if the motor runs one way only, inspect the switch and wiring.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured window lift motor is tested, inspected, and renewed to meet O.E. performance expectations. The remanufacturing process also reduces energy and raw material use compared with producing a new part.
