About the Cardone Windshield Wiper Motor Product Line

The Cardone Windshield Wiper Motor line focuses on remanufactured motors engineered to meet or exceed original equipment specifications. These motors are designed to provide reliable operation for vehicles equipped with advanced features such as moisture sensors that monitor rainfall accumulation on the windshield. The 43-4396 part number is part of this line, ensuring compatibility and quality for Nissan Frontier, Pathfinder, and Xterra models.

Product Details and Features

This wiper motor features a blade terminal type and mounts directly using three mounting holes with a bolt and grommet system. It is designed to work with vehicles that may have moisture-sensitive wiper systems, which use rain sensors to automatically adjust wiper speed based on rainfall intensity. The motor does not include a washer pump, so the existing pump must be retained or replaced separately. The package includes the wiper motor and an instruction sheet to assist with installation.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

  • Restores wiper motor function on Nissan Frontier, Pathfinder, and Xterra
  • Resolves intermittent or non-functioning windshield wipers
  • Addresses wiper motor stopping mid-swipe or inconsistent operation
  • Compatible with moisture sensor systems to maintain automatic wiper control
  • Replaces worn or defective motors without replacing washer pump

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation requires direct bolt mounting using the three mounting holes and grommet system. Ensure the blade terminals are properly connected to the vehicle wiring harness. If your vehicle is equipped with a moisture sensor, verify sensor operation after installation. The motor is remanufactured and may require calibration or adjustment to synchronize with existing wiper blades and sensors. Retain your original washer pump as it is not included with this motor.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

This Cardone wiper motor is remanufactured to meet OEM standards and is E-Waste compliant for environmental safety. It undergoes testing to ensure reliable operation and fitment for Nissan Frontier, Pathfinder, and Xterra models. Warranty details are provided by Cardone and typically cover defects in materials and workmanship for a specified period.
