Detailed Description

Cardone’s Power Window Motor line focuses on replacement motors engineered from original design data and improved where wear commonly occurs. The 82-304 uses a stronger gear material than the original design to help reduce stripping and breakage, while the assembled lubricant amount is controlled to support quiet, consistent operation. This makes the Cardone 82-304 a practical choice for restoring window lift performance on vehicles such as the Ford Thunderbird, Ford Cougar, Mercury Cougar, and Lincoln Continental.

This part cross-references Ford E7SZ6323395A and Lincoln E80Y5423395B for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Slow or weak power window movement
• Window motor noise during operation
• Intermittent window response
• Window movement that stops before fully opening or closing
• Wear-related gear damage inside the motor assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1988-1992 Lincoln Continental, rear left. Fits 1987-1988 Ford Cougar, front left. Fits 1987-1988 Ford Thunderbird, front left. Fits 1987-1988 Mercury Cougar, front left. Confirm the window lift system position before installation, and verify that the regulator is reused because it is not included. The self-tapping mounting design and 3-hole mounting pattern should be matched to the original vehicle setup for proper alignment.

Quality Assurance

Each motor is load tested to verify performance, and the design is built to meet or exceed OEM-level operation. Cardone’s new window lift motor program is based on long-term remanufacturing and engineering experience, with attention to gear durability, torque output, and quiet operation.
