Detailed Description

Cardone 43-4338 is a remanufactured windshield wiper motor engineered for OE-level operation on select Nissan Frontier, Pathfinder, and Xterra models. It uses direct bolt and grommet mounting with a blade terminal connection and is built for front windshield applications. The part number 43-4338 is a practical OE replacement when you need restored wiper movement, proper parking, and consistent sweep across the windshield.

This Cardone wiper motor line is built around remanufacturing discipline: worn components are inspected, bearings are serviced, magnets are recharged, and electrical joints are renewed before final testing. For drivers searching for a 2005-2008 Nissan Frontier front windshield wiper motor, 2005-2008 Nissan Pathfinder front wiper motor, or 2005-2008 Nissan Xterra front wiper motor, this unit provides a direct-fit solution. This part cross-references Nissan 28815EA000 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Wipers that stop in the middle of the windshield
• Inconsistent or slow wiper sweep
• Failure to park at the bottom of the windshield
• Intermittent wiper motor operation
• Noise or reduced output from a worn motor assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s original configuration before installation, especially because these applications exclude washer pump compatibility. If the wipers do not park correctly after installation, check crank arm position on the motor shaft and reset it according to the vehicle service procedure. If the vehicle uses a moisture-sensitive wiper system, confirm the rain sensor and control module operation before replacing the motor. Bench test the wiper motor and washer pump before installation when diagnosing an inoperative system.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactured wiper motors are re-engineered to match OE performance and are tested at the component level and again as a finished unit. The remanufacturing process is designed to deliver reliable operation while reducing material and energy use compared with manufacturing a new part.
