Product Details

Cardone’s Power Window Motor line focuses on replacement motors built to improve on original design weaknesses. This Cardone 82-489 window motor uses upgraded gear material and controlled lubrication to reduce noise and help maintain consistent window operation over time. It is a new part with gear included and no regulator, making it a direct solution when the motor has failed but the regulator assembly remains serviceable. This part cross-references Dodge 5179961AA for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Window glass that will not move up or down
• Slow or weak window operation
• Grinding, stripping, or slipping inside the door
• Intermittent power window response
• Noisy motor operation caused by worn internal components

Fitment and Installation Notes

• Fits 2007-2017 Jeep Compass, front right. Contains gear; without regulator; part numbers may be reversed on some models; physically check unit off vehicle.
• Fits 2007-2017 Jeep Patriot, front right. Contains gear; without regulator; part numbers may be reversed on some models; physically check unit off vehicle.
• Fits 2007-2012 Dodge Caliber, front left. Compatible with multiple power window models; includes gear but excludes regulator.

Before installation, verify the original motor position, connector style, and mounting layout against the removed unit. Because some Jeep Compass and Jeep Patriot applications may have reversed part numbers on certain models, physically checking the unit off the vehicle is recommended. Confirm the regulator is serviceable before replacing only the motor.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone new window lift motor is load tested to confirm performance and assembled to support quiet, long-lasting operation. The design uses stronger gear material than original equipment to help reduce premature wear and breakage, while maintaining fit and function for the listed Jeep Compass, Jeep Patriot, and Dodge Caliber applications.
