About the Cardone Windshield Wiper Motor Product Line

The Cardone Windshield Wiper Motor line focuses on remanufactured motors that meet OEM specifications for reliable windshield wiper performance. This product line supports advanced features such as moisture sensors that monitor rainfall accumulation on the windshield, enabling automatic adjustment of wiper speed. The 43-4500 part number is part of this line, ensuring compatibility and quality for Subaru Legacy vehicles equipped with rain-sensing wipers.

Product Details and Features

The Cardone 43-4500 wiper motor is designed with a blade terminal type for electrical connections and mounts securely using three grommet-style mounting holes. It is remanufactured to provide a cost-effective replacement without compromising functionality. This motor supports vehicles equipped with moisture sensors, which detect rainfall and adjust wiper operation accordingly. Note that the washer pump is not included with this motor, so it is intended for use with your existing washer system.

Common Issues Addressed by This Wiper Motor

  • Intermittent or non-functioning windshield wipers on Subaru Legacy
  • Wiper motor stopping mid-swipe or failing to complete cycles
  • Malfunctioning rain-sensing wiper features due to motor failure
  • Wiper motor noise or irregular movement

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Cardone 43-4500 wiper motor, ensure the vehicle is compatible with this part number and that it is a Subaru Legacy model.

If your vehicle has moisture-sensitive wipers, this motor supports that functionality, but the washer pump must be reused from the original setup as it is not included.
