Detailed Description

Cardone 43-2050 is a remanufactured windshield wiper motor engineered to restore front wiper operation on select applications including the 2003-2009 Lexus GX470, 2003-2009 Toyota 4Runner, 2001-2008 Toyota Highlander, 2003-2008 Toyota Corolla, 2003-2008 Toyota Matrix, 2003-2008 Pontiac Vibe, and 2004-2006 Scion xA. This part is built to OE specifications and tested for function on the vehicle, making it a practical replacement for drivers searching for a Toyota 4Runner wiper motor, Lexus GX470 windshield wiper motor, or Cardone 43-2050 replacement.

Each unit is remanufactured with attention to the main wear points inside the motor assembly. Bearings are serviced, magnets are recharged, lubrication is applied to the output gear, and solder joints are reworked to help maintain consistent operation. Package contents include the wiper motor and instruction sheet. This part cross-references Toyota 8511002110 and Lexus 8511060360 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Help Resolve

• Front windshield wipers that stop working or move intermittently
• Wipers that park in the wrong position after motor failure
• Slow or weak wiper movement caused by worn internal motor components
• Noisy operation from worn bearings or gear wear
• Electrical issues related to failed motor terminals or internal solder joints

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle uses the correct front wiper motor configuration before ordering. This application excludes washer pump compatibility, and the motor does not include a washer pump. Some vehicles with moisture-sensitive wiper systems use a rain sensor mounted inside the windshield near the rearview mirror, and diagnosis should include the sensor and control module when applicable. If the wipers stop in the middle of the windshield or do not park correctly, inspect crank arm position and follow the vehicle-specific hidden park reset procedure when required. Bench test the wiper motor and washer pump before replacement if the original failure is unclear.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactured wiper motors are re-engineered, built, and tested to match OE performance. The remanufacturing process is designed to reduce energy and raw material use compared with producing a new part, while maintaining the fit and function expected for direct replacement service.
