Product Details

Cardone’s Windshield Wiper Motor line builds on remanufacturing experience and applies that knowledge to a new replacement design. For this application, the motor gears use a tougher, less brittle material to help resist premature wear and gear damage, while the internal lubrication and torque output are set up for consistent front wiper movement. The 85-4316 is a practical replacement for a Nissan Sentra windshield wiper motor when the original unit is noisy, weak, or no longer parks correctly.

This part cross-references Nissan 288105M000 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Front wipers stop working or move intermittently
• Wipers park in the wrong position or stop mid-windshield
• Slow or weak wiper sweep in rain or snow
• Noise from worn motor gears
• Damage from stripped or broken internal gear components

Installation Notes

Before replacing the motor, verify the washer pump condition. Some wiper systems will not operate correctly if the washer pump has failed, even when the motor is not defective. If the vehicle does not use hidden wiper blades and the wipers park incorrectly, adjust the crank arm position on the motor shaft using the vehicle service procedure. For moisture-sensitive systems, confirm the rain sensor and control module operation before installation.

Fits 2007 Nissan Sentra, front, before 09/2006, motor without washer pump. Fits 2000-2006 Nissan Sentra, front, wiper motor does not include washer pump.

Quality Assurance

Each motor is load tested for reliable operation and assembled with the correct lubricant amount to support quiet performance and long-term use. Cardone’s design approach focuses on improving gear durability and torque delivery for real-world driving conditions.
