Product Details and Features

This new Cardone wiper motor (part number 85-3506) is designed to fit Volkswagen Golf, Jetta, Passat, and R32 models. It features three mounting holes with eyelet and grommet mounting types to ensure a secure and stable installation.

This motor is compatible with vehicles equipped with moisture sensors that monitor rainfall accumulation on the windshield, allowing for automatic wiper activation and speed adjustment. Note that the washer pump is not included with this motor and must be sourced separately if needed.

Common Issues Addressed by This Wiper Motor

  • Wiper motor failure causing intermittent or no wiper movement
  • Wipers stopping mid-swipe or not completing full cycles
  • Incompatibility with moisture sensor systems leading to erratic wiper behavior
  • Wear and tear from prolonged use resulting in reduced wiping efficiency
  • Electrical connection problems due to damaged or corroded terminals

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Cardone 85-3506 wiper motor, ensure the vehicle is compatible with this part number and model fitment. The motor mounts using three eyelet and grommet points—verify all mounting hardware is secure to prevent vibration or misalignment. Blade-type terminals require clean and tight electrical connections; inspect wiring harnesses for damage before installation. If your vehicle has a moisture sensor, confirm the sensor and related wiring are functioning properly to maintain automatic wiper operation. The washer pump is not included, so retain or replace the existing pump as needed.
