Common Problems This Part Can Solve

• Front wipers stop moving or fail to sweep the windshield
• Wipers park in the wrong position after operation
• Intermittent or slow wiper motor operation
• Noise or binding from a worn motor assembly
• Loss of reliable windshield clearing in rain or snow

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle configuration before ordering, especially washer pump compatibility and left hand drive requirements where noted. If the vehicle uses a hidden park setup, follow the service manual reset procedure and adjust the crank arm position if the wipers do not park correctly. If the motor does not operate after installation, bench test the wiper motor and washer pump together, since a defective washer pump can prevent operation on some vehicles.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufacturing reduces the energy and raw material needed to produce a new part by about 80%, while restoring key internal components for reliable service. Each motor is re-engineered and tested to support OE-level performance for the listed Saab applications.
