Detailed Description

Cardone’s New Wiper Motor line builds on reverse-engineering experience to improve on the original design rather than simply duplicate it. The gear set uses a stronger, less brittle material to help resist wear and breakage, while the motor is load tested to verify dependable operation. This makes the Cardone 85-4017 a practical replacement for front windshield wiper motor failure on 2002-2006 Acura RSX and 2002-2006 Honda CR-V, including 2003-2006 Honda CR-V Japan-built models.

This part cross-references Acura and Honda OE part number 76505S6MA01 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Inoperative front windshield wipers
• Slow or inconsistent wiper movement
• Wipers stopping mid-windshield
• Parking position problems caused by a worn motor or linkage load
• Noise from worn internal motor gears

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2002-2006 Acura RSX, front. Fits 2002 Honda CR-V, front. Fits 2003-2006 Honda CR-V, front, Japan built. Confirm the vehicle uses a motor without a washer pump before ordering, since this unit does not include one.

If the wipers park incorrectly after installation, inspect the crank arm position on the motor shaft and reset it 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. Bench test the wiper motor and washer pump when diagnosing a no-operation condition.
