Product Details

Cardone Windshield Wiper Motor 43-4331 is part of the brand’s remanufactured wiper motor line, a product family that has been part of Cardone’s catalog since 1970. This unit is built for front wiper systems on select Nissan Altima and Nissan Maxima models, including 2002 Altima from 08/2002, 2003-2006 Altima, 2007 Altima before 10/2006, and 2004-2008 Maxima. It uses a blade terminal type, direct-bolt mounting, and includes the wiper motor with instruction sheet. Washer pump included: no.

This part cross-references Nissan (e.g., 288107Y000, 288107Y005) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Front wipers that stop moving or move inconsistently
• Wipers that park in the wrong position
• Slow or weak windshield wiper operation
• Intermittent wiper motor function caused by worn internal components
• Noise or binding related to worn bearings or gear wear

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle uses a front wiper motor without washer pump compatibility before ordering. If the wipers do not park correctly, the crank arm position may need to be adjusted on the motor shaft using the vehicle-specific hidden park reset procedure. If the vehicle uses a moisture-sensitive wiper system, confirm the rain sensor and control module setup before diagnosis. Bench test the wiper motor and washer pump before replacing either when electrical or pump-related faults are suspected.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured wiper motor is rebuilt and tested to match O.E. performance, with final vehicle-function testing performed before release. The remanufacturing process is designed to recover usable components, restore critical wear items, and support reliable operation over the long term.
