Product Details

Cardone’s Windshield Wiper Motor line builds on reverse-engineering experience to improve on the original design rather than simply duplicate it. For this application, the motor is intended for front windshield wiper systems on vehicles such as the Toyota Sienna, Toyota Solara, Lexus ES330, Scion xB, Toyota Camry, Toyota RAV4, Lexus IS300, and Lexus ES300. The Cardone 85-2015 is a practical OE-style replacement for drivers addressing worn, noisy, or inconsistent wiper motor performance.

This part cross-references Toyota 85110AA030 and Lexus 851100E010 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Help Solve

• Wipers that stop in the middle of the windshield
• Slow, weak, or intermittent wiper movement
• Noisy operation from worn internal gears or dry components
• Parking misalignment caused by a worn motor or linkage setup
• Loss of wiper function on front windshield systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle uses a front wiper motor with blade terminals and no washer pump on the motor assembly before installation. If the wipers do not park correctly after replacement, inspect crank arm position on the motor shaft and follow the vehicle-specific hidden park reset procedure when equipped. If the vehicle uses a moisture-sensitive wiper system, verify the rain sensor and control module operation before replacing the motor.

For diagnosis, bench test the wiper motor and washer pump before installation when the original failure is unclear. On some vehicles, a defective washer pump can prevent motor operation even when the motor itself is not faulty.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone new wiper motor is load tested and assembled with controlled lubrication to support dependable performance. The upgraded gear material is selected to better resist premature wear and breakage in demanding daily use.

Compatible With 1997-2003 Lexus ES300, 2001-2005 Toyota RAV4, and 2002-2006 Toyota Camry front wiper applications. Part number 85-2015 is built for direct replacement use in these and other listed fitments.
