Installation Notes and Tips

Package contents include the wiper motor and instruction sheet. Washer pump is not included. Verify vehicle fitment by year, model, and VIN notes before installation, especially on 1998 Jaguar XJ8 and XJR applications. If the wipers do not park correctly and the vehicle does not use hidden wiper blades, check crank arm position on the motor shaft and reset as needed using the vehicle service procedure. If the system does not operate after replacement, bench test the wiper motor and washer pump together, since some vehicles will not run the motor if the washer pump has failed.

For moisture-sensitive wiper systems, confirm whether the vehicle uses a rain sensor mounted inside the windshield near the rearview mirror. That sensor sends input to the control module, which adjusts wiper speed based on rainfall accumulation.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured wiper motor is re-engineered to match OE performance and tested for function before release. The remanufacturing process includes component inspection, bearing service, magnet recharging, lubrication, and solder rework to support dependable operation in daily use.
