Product Details

Cardone’s New Wiper Motor line builds on the company’s remanufacturing experience and applies that engineering approach to a new replacement design. For Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana front wiper service, the 85-1096 uses a reinforced gear design and controlled lubrication to help maintain smooth movement and dependable parking performance. This part cross-references Chevrolet/GMC OE number 19169125 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Front wipers that stop working or move intermittently
• Slow or weak wiper sweep in rain, snow, or road spray
• Noise from worn motor gears or dry internal components
• Premature gear stripping or breakage inside the motor
• Inconsistent torque caused by aging linkage or weather exposure

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle uses the front wiper motor application listed above before ordering. This unit does not include a washer pump, so transfer or service that component separately as needed. If the wipers park in the wrong position after installation, check crank arm alignment on the motor shaft and follow the vehicle-specific hidden park reset procedure if equipped. If the system will not operate after replacement, bench test the wiper motor and washer pump together, since some systems will not run with a failed washer pump.

Quality Assurance

Cardone manufactures this new wiper motor with load testing and controlled assembly practices to support dependable operation. The design uses stronger internal gears than the original equipment style to improve durability in everyday and severe-weather use.
