Detailed Description

The Cardone 85-40470 windshield wiper motor is built for drivers who need consistent front wiper operation on a 2007-2009 Honda CR-V.

Common Problems This Part Can Help Solve

• Loss of reliable front windshield wiping in rain or snow

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2007-2009 Honda CR-V, front. Confirm the vehicle uses a front windshield wiper motor with blade terminals and a direct-bolt, 3-hole mounting setup before installation. The washer pump is not included, so transfer or service that component separately if needed. If the wipers do not park correctly after installation, check crank arm position and follow the vehicle-specific hidden park reset procedure when applicable.

For moisture-sensitive wiper systems, verify the rain sensor and control module operation before replacing the motor. If the original motor stopped working after washer pump failure, bench test both components to confirm the root cause.
