What It Helps Fix

• Inoperative front windshield wipers

• Wiper motor gear wear or breakage
• Parking issues caused by worn motor components or linkage alignment
• Noise from dry or worn internal motor parts

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle uses a front-mounted wiper motor with a direct bolt pattern and blade terminals before installation. If the wipers stop in the middle of the windshield, inspect crank arm position and reset the park alignment according to the vehicle service procedure. If the vehicle uses a moisture-sensitive wiper system, verify the rain sensor and washer pump operation before replacing the motor. The package includes a wiper motor and instruction manual.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone 85-443 wiper motor is load tested to verify performance before use. The motor gears use a stronger material than original equipment to help resist wear and breakage, and the assembly is built with the correct lubricant amount for quiet operation and durability.
