Product Details

This part cross-references Hyundai 981103K000 and Kia 981102F000 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Front wipers that stop moving or move intermittently
• Wipers that park in the wrong position on the windshield
• Slow or weak wiper sweep caused by motor wear
• Noisy operation from worn bearings or gear components
• Electrical failure related to worn internal contacts or solder joints

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle’s washer pump and wiper control system before replacement, since some systems will not operate if the washer pump has failed. If the vehicle uses hidden park wipers, follow the service manual reset procedure after installation. For parking issues on non-hidden park systems, adjust the crank arm position on the motor shaft so the blades park at the bottom of the windshield.

Confirm connector style, mounting points, and vehicle fitment before installation. This part number 43-4462 is intended for direct bolt mounting with blade terminals.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured wiper motor is re-engineered and tested to match OE performance, with final vehicle-function testing performed before release. The remanufacturing process also supports reduced material and energy use compared with producing a new part.
