About the Cardone Windshield Wiper Motor Product Line

The Cardone Windshield Wiper Motor line focuses on remanufactured motors that meet or exceed OEM specifications. This product line supports vehicles with advanced features such as moisture sensors that monitor rainfall accumulation on the windshield, enabling automatic wiper activation. The 43-3503 part number is part of this line, providing a reliable replacement option for Audi A4, A4 Quattro, Passat, and S4 models requiring a motor compatible with moisture-sensitive wiper systems.

Product Details and Features

This wiper motor is designed for vehicles that may have rain sensors permanently mounted on the windshield. It operates with blade-type electrical terminals and mounts directly using three bolt holes, ensuring a secure fit. The motor is remanufactured to restore functionality and reduce waste, supporting environmental sustainability through E-Waste compliance. Note that this unit does not include a washer pump, so the existing pump can be retained if functional.

Common Issues Addressed by This Wiper Motor

  • Wiper motor failure causing intermittent or no wiper movement
  • Wipers stopping mid-swipe on the windshield
  • Malfunction in moisture sensor-controlled wiper activation
  • Incompatibility with moisture-sensitive wiper systems due to faulty motor
  • Wear and tear from prolonged use leading to reduced wiper performance

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation requires direct bolt mounting using the three mounting holes provided. Ensure the blade-type terminals are properly connected to the vehicle’s wiring harness. This motor is compatible with vehicles equipped with moisture sensors; verify sensor presence before installation. Retain the existing washer pump if it is still operational, as this motor does not include one. Follow the included instruction sheet carefully to avoid installation errors.
