Detailed Description

Cardone 43-1117 is a remanufactured windshield wiper motor designed for front wiper systems on 1993-1996 Mitsubishi Mirage and 1993-1995 Dodge Colt models.

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle uses the correct front wiper motor configuration before installation. This unit does not include a washer pump, and Cardone notes that some systems will not operate correctly if the washer pump is defective. If the wipers do not park correctly after installation, inspect the crank arm position on the motor shaft and reset it according to the vehicle service procedure. Bench testing the motor and washer pump before replacement can help isolate the fault.
