Product Line Details

CARDONE’s remanufactured wiper motor line has been part of the brand’s core offering since 1970. The 43-4081 follows that OE-focused remanufacturing approach, with each unit tested for function after assembly to help restore proper windshield wiping performance.

Detailed Description

This CARDONE windshield wiper motor, part number 43-4081, is remanufactured to OE specifications for front applications. It is designed for vehicles that require a direct bolt replacement and is listed for 2013-2017 Cadillac XTS, 2008-2012 Honda Accord, 2009-2014 Honda Fit, 2010-2014 Honda Insight, and 2011-2016 Honda CR-Z. This part cross-references Cadillac 20910181 and Honda 76505SZTG01 for the same application.

Common Issues It Can Help Resolve

• Wipers that stop mid-windshield
• Intermittent or slow windshield wiper movement
• Wipers that do not park correctly at the bottom of the glass
• Loss of front wiper operation caused by worn internal motor components
• Noise or reduced performance from a worn remanufactured or original motor

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle-specific fitment before installation. If the motor does not have hidden wiper blades, parking misalignment is often related to crank arm position; adjust the crank arm angle on the motor shaft to restore proper park position. For moisture-sensitive systems, confirm the rain sensor and wiper control module are functioning correctly. If the motor does not operate after installation, bench test the wiper motor and washer pump before replacing either component, since some systems will not run with a defective washer pump.

Quality Assurance

Each unit is remanufactured to OE standards and tested for function after assembly. CARDONE’s process also reduces energy and raw material use compared with manufacturing a new part, supporting an earth-friendly remanufacturing approach.
