Product Details

Cardone’s Windshield Wiper Motor line is built from decades of remanufacturing and reverse-engineering experience, then refined as a new replacement design. The goal is to improve durability in the areas that commonly fail first, especially the gear set and torque delivery. For Ram truck owners searching for a front wiper motor for a 1998-2002 Dodge Ram 1500 or a 2000-2002 Dodge Ram 2500/3500, the 85-3024 provides a direct-fit service part for restoring windshield wipe function.

This part cross-references Dodge 55076549AF and 55076549AG for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Help Solve

• Wipers stop working or move intermittently
• Wiper blades park in the wrong position

Installation Notes

Confirm the vehicle uses a front wiper motor without an integrated washer pump before installation. If the wipers do not park correctly after replacement, inspect the crank arm position on the motor shaft and reset it according to the vehicle service procedure. On moisture-sensitive systems, verify the rain sensor and washer pump operation before replacing the motor, since related faults can affect motor function.

Package contents include the wiper motor and instruction manual. Part number 85-3024 is intended for direct bolt installation on the listed Dodge Ram applications.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone new wiper motor is load tested and assembled with controlled lubrication to support quiet, dependable operation. The gear design uses a tougher material than original equipment to help resist premature wear, stripping, and breakage.
