Detailed Description

Dorman 602-310AS is a windshield wiper motor and linkage assembly engineered for specific Ford and Mercury applications. If the original wiper transmission or motor has failed, this assembly provides a complete replacement for the wiper drive system rather than replacing individual worn components. It is designed for 2008-2010 Ford Explorer, 2008-2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and 2008-2010 Mercury Mountaineer models, making it a focused solution for vehicles with confirmed fitment.

This assembly uses an electrical driver type, a bracket motor mounting style, and a clockwise rotation direction. The construction combines steel, metal, plastic, rubber, and elastomer materials for the frame, bushings, and related components. Part number 602-310AS also cross-references 8L2Z17508A and 8L2Z17566A for the same application.

Common Issues This Assembly Can Address

• Wipers stop moving after motor or linkage failure

• Loss of windshield clearing performance in rain or snow

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle fitment by year, make, and model before installation. This assembly uses bolt attachment and bracket-style motor mounting, so transfer and alignment should be checked carefully during service. Inspect the wiper arms, pivots, and related linkage points for wear before completing the repair to help ensure proper operation after replacement.
