Product Details

The Cardone 85-10100 is a new windshield wiper motor for front-mounted Saturn applications. It is designed for vehicles that use a direct-bolt motor with blade terminals and does not include the washer pump. Cardone’s wiper motor design focuses on gear strength, torque delivery, and controlled lubrication to help maintain steady wiper movement in everyday driving and adverse weather.

This part cross-references Saturn OE numbers 21049032 and 21055768 for the same application. It is a practical choice for Saturn SL, SC, and SW models when the original motor has failed, parks incorrectly, or no longer drives the linkage properly.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Wipers stop working or move intermittently
• Wiper blades park in the wrong position
• Slow or weak wiper movement in rain or snow
• Noise from worn motor gears or internal wear
• Motor failure after linkage load increases

Installation Notes

Confirm the vehicle uses a front wiper motor with direct-bolt mounting and blade terminals before ordering. This unit does not include the washer pump, so a failed washer pump should be diagnosed separately. If the wipers stop in the middle of the windshield, inspect crank arm position and reset the park angle according to the vehicle service procedure. For moisture-sensitive systems, verify the rain sensor and control module operation before replacing the motor.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone 85-10100 wiper motor is load tested for reliable operation and assembled with the proper lubricant amount for quiet performance. The gear design uses a stronger material than original equipment to help reduce wear and breakage over time.
