Detailed Description

Cardone 43-4013 is a remanufactured windshield wiper motor designed for front wiper systems that require OE-style operation and mounting. This part is listed for 2001-2003 Acura CL, 1999-2003 Acura TL, 1998-2002 Honda Accord, and 2001 Honda Civic applications, including the Civic with 12 mm shaft and 10 mm threads and no washer pump. The motor is supplied without a washer pump, so the existing washer pump arrangement must match the vehicle’s original configuration.

This part cross-references Acura 76505S84A01 and Honda 76505S4KA01 for the same application. If you are replacing a failed front windshield wiper motor on an Acura TL, Acura CL, or Honda Accord, part number 43-4013 provides an OE-style remanufactured solution built around the original mounting and electrical design.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Front wipers stop moving or do not respond
• Wipers park in the wrong position after shutdown
• Wiper motor runs intermittently or loses speed
• Wiper movement becomes weak or inconsistent
• Motor failure related to worn bearings, solder joints, or weakened magnets

Installation Notes and Tips

• Do not assume washer pump interchangeability; this motor is listed without a washer pump.
• If the wipers stop in the middle of the windshield, inspect crank arm position and park alignment during installation.
• For moisture-sensitive systems, verify the rain sensor and control module operation before replacing the motor.
• Bench test the wiper motor and washer pump before installation if the original system showed electrical faults.
