About the Cardone Windshield Wiper Motor Product Line

The Cardone Windshield Wiper Motor line focuses on delivering replacement motors engineered to meet or exceed original equipment specifications. This product line supports advanced features such as moisture sensors that monitor rainfall accumulation on the windshield, enabling automatic wiper activation and speed adjustment. The 85-40000 model is part of this line, providing dependable operation for vehicles equipped with these sensor systems.

Product Details and Features

This new wiper motor (part number 85-40000) is designed specifically for Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles. It features an eyelet and grommet mounting system that ensures a secure fit and easy installation. The blade terminal type provides a stable electrical connection to the vehicle’s wiring harness. Notably, this motor supports moisture sensor technology, which detects rainfall accumulation on the windshield and adjusts wiper operation accordingly.

Verify the blade terminal connections are clean and firmly seated to prevent electrical issues. If your Jeep Grand Cherokee is equipped with a moisture sensor, confirm sensor functionality after installation to maintain automatic wiper operation. The motor is compatible with existing washer pumps, so replacement is not necessary unless the pump is faulty.
