Product Details

Cardone’s Windshield Wiper Motor line focuses on replacing worn rear wiper motors with updated internal components and careful assembly standards. Part number 85-1026 is a rear wiper motor for vehicles that use a direct-bolt design and blade terminals, making it a practical choice for restoring rear windshield wiping function on the Pontiac Montana, Oldsmobile Silhouette, and Pontiac Trans Sport. This part cross-references Pontiac OE numbers 12363350 and 12494791 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Rear wiper motor inoperative
• Slow, weak, or inconsistent rear wiper movement
• Wiper blades stopping mid-sweep
• Noise from worn motor gears or internal wear
• Parking or return-to-home issues caused by motor wear or linkage load

Installation Notes

Fits 1999-2005 Pontiac Montana, rear; fits 1997-2004 Oldsmobile Silhouette, rear; fits 1997-1998 Pontiac Trans Sport, rear. Confirm the vehicle uses a rear wiper motor with direct-bolt mounting and blade terminals before installation. The washer pump is not included, so transfer or service the pump separately if needed. If the wiper system does not operate after installation, inspect the washer pump and related wiring, since some systems will not run with a failed pump. For parking concerns, verify crank arm position and follow the vehicle-specific hidden park reset procedure when applicable.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone 85-1026 wiper motor is assembled with the proper lubricant amount, load tested, and built with upgraded gear material to improve durability over the original design. The motor is designed to deliver the torque needed for dependable rear wiper performance in harsh weather and with worn linkage components.
