Product Details

This Cardone Power Window Motor line focuses on OE replacement fitment and restored performance. The 42-629 is remanufactured from original equipment cores, then tested on a simulated window fixture to verify speed and strength. For the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee front left window motor application, the output signals and pulse counts are matched to the vehicle when equipped with auto up/down operation, and the motor is shipped in the full up position.

Internal gears are inspected and renewed or replaced when needed, and replacement gears use a stronger material than the original design to help resist wear and breakage. This part cross-references Jeep (e.g., 5539422AC, 55394227AC) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Front left power window that will not move up or down
• Slow or weak window travel
• Intermittent window operation
• Noisy or rough window movement when the motor is worn
• Loss of auto-up or auto-down function after motor replacement

Installation Notes

Fits 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee, front left. Gear is included, and the regulator is not included. This unit uses 2 wires and mounts through 8 holes. If the vehicle has an anti-pinch feature, do not bench-test or operate the motor before it is fully coupled to the regulator, or the travel limits may need to be reset after installation. Follow the vehicle service procedure for limit setting when required.

Quality Assurance

Each motor is 100% tested, including load testing on a simulated window fixture. Cardone also inspects and gauges internal components, replaces or renews worn parts, and verifies insulation in the armature. The remanufacturing process is designed to restore OE-level function while reducing waste.
