Product Details

Cardone 43-4417 is part of Cardone’s remanufactured windshield wiper motor program, a product line built around OE replacement standards and long-term serviceability. The remanufacturing process reuses core components where possible and restores critical internal parts to reduce raw material use while maintaining the performance expected from an OE-style wiper motor. This part cross-references Ford/Lincoln/Mercury OE numbers 6E5Z17508AA and Mazda GK2C67340 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Front wipers stop working or move intermittently
• Wipers park in the wrong position on the windshield
• Slow or weak wiper sweep during rain or snow
• Motor noise caused by worn internal bearings or gear wear
• Electrical failure related to worn solder points or internal components

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2006-2012 Ford Fusion, front. Fits 2007-2012 Lincoln MKZ, front. Fits 2006-2011 Mercury Milan, front. Fits 2006 Lincoln Zephyr, front. Fits 2003-2005 Mazda 6, front. Verify the vehicle’s washer pump setup before installation, since this application excludes washer pump compatibility. If the wipers do not park correctly after installation and the vehicle does not use hidden wiper blades, check crank arm position on the motor shaft and reset the park angle as needed. For moisture-sensitive systems, confirm the vehicle uses a rain sensor mounted inside the windshield near the rearview mirror.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured wiper motor is re-engineered and tested to match OE performance. Main components are checked against OE standards, and the final assembly is function-tested on the vehicle. The remanufacturing process is also designed to reduce energy and raw material use compared with producing a new part.
