Product Details

This Cardone windshield wiper motor is designed for front wiper systems that require OE-style operation and a direct-fit replacement. It is a remanufactured unit, not a new aftermarket assembly, and it is built to restore consistent sweep, park position, and motor response on vehicles such as the 2012-2016 Toyota Camry, 2011-2015 Hyundai Sonata, 2011-2015 Kia Sorento, 2009-2015 Toyota Venza, 2013-2014 Toyota Avalon, and 2006-2008 Mazda 6. Part number 43-4481 is also cross-referenced to Toyota 851100T010 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Front wipers move slowly or stop intermittently
• Wipers fail to park at the bottom of the windshield
• Motor noise increases due to worn internal bearings
• Inconsistent sweep caused by weak electrical or mechanical components
• Loss of wiper operation after the original motor wears out

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle uses the correct front wiper motor application before installation. This unit does not include a washer pump, and some vehicles will not operate the motor correctly if the washer pump circuit is faulty. If the wipers stop in the middle of the windshield, inspect the crank arm position and reset the park alignment as needed using the vehicle service procedure. For moisture-sensitive systems, verify the rain sensor and control module operation before replacing the motor. Bench testing the wiper motor and washer pump before installation can help isolate the root cause.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactured wiper motors are re-engineered to match OE performance and are tested through component-level checks and final functional verification. The remanufacturing process also supports reduced material and energy use compared with producing a new part.
