Product Details

This Cardone Windshield Wiper Motor line focuses on replacing worn front wiper motors with a design that improves durability over the original unit. CARDONE uses reverse-engineering experience from remanufacturing to refine its new motor design, with attention to gear strength, torque output, and smooth operation. Cardone 85-4053 is a practical choice for drivers needing a front windshield wiper motor for Lexus LS460, Lexus LS600h, Lexus RX350, Lexus RX450h, Mazda CX-9, Toyota Prius, Toyota Prius Plug-In, Suzuki Grand Vitara, Lexus HS250h, or Mitsubishi Eclipse applications.

This part cross-references Toyota (e.g., 8511047240, 8511050140) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

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

Installation Notes

Confirm the vehicle uses a front wiper motor with blade terminals and direct bolt mounting before installation. The washer pump is not included, so transfer or service that component separately if needed. If the vehicle has hidden park wipers, follow the vehicle-specific reset procedure after installation. If the wipers stop in the middle of the windshield, inspect the crank arm position and adjust it on the motor shaft as required. On some systems, a defective washer pump can prevent motor operation, so bench test both components before replacement.
