If the wipers stop in the middle of the windshield, inspect the crank arm position and reset the park alignment according to the vehicle service procedure. If the vehicle uses a moisture-sensitive wiper system, verify the rain sensor and control module operation before replacing the motor. Some systems will not operate correctly if the washer pump is defective, so bench testing the motor and washer pump before installation is recommended.

Quality Assurance

Cardone designs this wiper motor using reverse-engineering experience from automotive remanufacturing and applies that knowledge to its new motor line. The result is a replacement rear wiper motor with upgraded gear material, controlled lubrication, and load-tested performance for select Audi rear applications.
