Detailed Description

Cardone 43-4053 is a remanufactured windshield wiper motor engineered for OE-level operation on front wiper systems. It is designed for vehicles that require a direct-bolt motor with three mounting holes and a blade-style terminal connection. This part cross-references Honda 76505TE0A02 and Toyota 8511047240 for the same application.

For fitment-based searches, this part is a direct replacement for front wiper motor service on 2007-2017 Lexus LS460, 2008-2016 Lexus LS600h, 2010-2015 Lexus RX350, 2010-2015 Lexus RX450h, 2007-2015 Mazda CX-9, 2010-2014 Toyota Prius, 2012-2014 Toyota Prius Plug-In, 2007-2013 Suzuki Grand Vitara, 2010-2012 Lexus HS250h, and 2006-2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse.

What It Can Help Fix

• Inoperative front windshield wipers
• Slow, erratic, or inconsistent wiper movement
• Wipers stopping in the middle of the windshield
• Poor parking position after motor replacement
• Noise or wear related to a failing wiper motor assembly

Installation Notes

Confirm vehicle-specific fitment before installation, especially on models with moisture-sensitive wiper systems or washer-pump interlocks. If the motor does not operate after installation, bench test the wiper motor and washer pump before replacing either component. When hidden park wipers are involved, parking misalignment is often corrected by adjusting the crank arm position on the motor shaft according to the service procedure for that vehicle.

For vehicles with rain-sensing systems, the moisture sensor is typically mounted inside the windshield near the rearview mirror and sends input to the wiper control module, which adjusts motor speed accordingly.

Quality Assurance

Cardone’s remanufacturing process is built around OE performance verification and functional testing. Main wear and electrical components are inspected, restored, or replaced as needed, and the finished motor is tested for operation before release. The process also supports reduced material and energy use compared with manufacturing a new part.
