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.

Product Details and Features

This wiper motor is designed for vehicles that may have moisture sensors integrated into their wiper systems. Moisture sensors detect rainfall accumulation on the windshield and adjust wiper speed accordingly. The Cardone 85-4081 motor supports these functions, making it suitable for models like the Honda Accord and Cadillac XTS that often include this technology. The motor features three mounting holes and blade-type terminals for straightforward installation and electrical connection. Note that this unit does not include a washer pump.

Common Issues Addressed by This Wiper Motor

  • Wiper motor failure causing intermittent or no wiper movement
  • Wiper blades stopping mid-swipe due to motor malfunction
  • Incompatibility with moisture sensor systems leading to erratic wiper behavior
  • Wear and tear from prolonged use affecting wiper performance
  • Electrical connection problems resolved by blade terminal design

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation requires removing the old wiper motor and securing the new motor using the direct bolt mounting points. The three mounting holes ensure a stable fit. Connect the blade terminals carefully to avoid electrical issues. If your vehicle is equipped with a moisture sensor, verify sensor compatibility before installation. The included instruction sheet provides step-by-step guidance. Note that the washer pump is not included and should be reused if functional.
