Product Details

Cardone’s windshield wiper motor line is designed from decades of remanufacturing and reverse-engineering experience, then updated as a new replacement part with durability-focused improvements. The gear set uses a less brittle material than the original design, helping the motor resist premature wear in demanding front wiper systems. For drivers searching for a Honda Accord wiper motor, Acura TL wiper motor, or Honda Pilot front wiper motor, part number 85-4028 provides a direct-fit solution for the listed applications.

This part cross-references Acura OE numbers 76505S9VA01 and 76505S9VA02 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Help Resolve

• Intermittent or inoperative front windshield wipers
• Wipers stopping mid-sweep or failing to return to park
• Slow or weak wiper movement in rain or snow
• Noise caused by worn internal motor gears
• Wiper motor failure related to stripped or broken gear components

Installation Notes and Tips

Before replacing the motor, bench test the wiper motor and washer pump if the vehicle uses a washer-pump interlock, since a faulty washer pump can prevent motor operation. If the wipers park in the wrong position and the vehicle does not use hidden wiper blades, check crank arm alignment on the motor shaft and reset the park position using the vehicle service procedure. Confirm the connector style, mounting type, and fitment before installation.

Quality Assurance

Each motor is assembled with the correct lubricant amount and load tested to support dependable operation. The stronger gear design and torque-focused magnet setup are intended to improve durability in real-world use. E-waste: Yes.
