About the Cardone Windshield Wiper Motor Product Line

The Cardone Windshield Wiper Motor line focuses on delivering replacement motors that meet or exceed original equipment specifications. This product line supports vehicles equipped with advanced features such as moisture sensors that monitor rainfall accumulation on the windshield. The 85-1072 part number is part of this line, providing reliable operation for Buick Allure, Cadillac DTS, LaCrosse, and Regal models.

Product Details and Compatibility

This wiper motor is specifically compatible with Buick Allure and LaCrosse, as well as Cadillac DTS and Regal vehicles. It is designed to work with moisture sensitive wiper systems, which use a rain sensor to automatically adjust wiper speed based on rainfall intensity. The motor features a blade terminal type for electrical connections and mounts directly to the vehicle using a bolt-on method, simplifying replacement.

Common Issues Addressed by This Wiper Motor

  • Wiper motor failure causing intermittent or no wiper movement
  • Wipers stopping mid-swipe on the windshield
  • Malfunction in moisture sensor-controlled wiper operation
  • Incompatibility or failure of old motors with moisture sensor systems
  • Wear and tear from prolonged use leading to reduced wiper performance

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation requires removing the old wiper motor and mounting the new Cardone 85-1072 motor using the direct bolt mounting points. Ensure the blade terminal connections are secure to maintain proper electrical function. This motor does not include a washer pump, so the existing pump can be reused if functional. Refer to the included instruction manual for detailed installation guidance. Vehicles equipped with moisture sensors may require calibration or system checks after installation.
