Product Description

CARDONE's legacy began in 1970 when its first product offering was released − Remanufactured Wiper Motors. Since then, the CARDONE name has become synonymous with high-quality, remanufactured products. Every CARDONE wiper motor is re-engineered, built and tested to match O.E. performance. For nearly half a century, CARDONE Remanufactured Wiper Motors have provided rock-s olid reliability that you can trust for the long haul.


  • Each unit has its main components tested or gauged against the O.E. standard. [Armature, Field, Bearing, Parking switch, or pulse board] – Then the final product is tested for each of its functions on the vehicle.
  • Every motor bearing is re-impregnated or replaced as needed.
  • Lubrication is applied to the output gear to provide maximum load capacity and long life.
  • Weak solder points are 100% reflowed to extend life expectancy.
  • Motor magnets are 100% recharged for performance and reliability.
  • As a remanufactured Original Equipment part, this unit guarantees a perfect vehicle fit.
  • Our remanufacturing process is earth-friendly, as it reduces the energy and raw material needed to make a new part by 80%.
  • Complete the Check It Fits tool and confirm all information in the Fitment Details section above to ensure you select the right part for your application.

    Metafield Product & Technical

    The wiper motor continues to stop in the middle of the windshield. What’s causing this to happen?
    If the motor does not have hidden wiper blades, the most likely cause of parking misalignment is the crank arm position. Adjust the crank arm angle on the motor shaft to park wipers at bottom of windshield. Refer to a vehicle specific service manual or online material for the “hidden park” reset procedure.


    I just installed a new wiper motor and put my old washer pump on and the motor does not work. Is the motor defective?
    The motor is NOT defective. There are some wiper motors that will not operate if the washer pump is defective. This may be the cause of the original motor problem. Bench test wiper motor and washer pump before replacing either.


    Why won’t the wiper motor work? I have everything hooked up properly.
    Check the wiring harness ground, terminal ground lug or ground strap. If the motor still does not operate properly, check the switch and switch circuit.


    How can I determine if my vehicle is equipped with a moisture sensitive wiper motor?
    Most vehicles equipped with this feature have a rain sensor permanently mounted to the inside of the windshield in front of the rear view mirror.


    How do moisture sensitive wipers work?
    A moisture sensor monitors rainfall accumulation on the windshield and provides input to the windshield wiper motor control module. The windshield wiper control module adjusts the wiper motor speed accordingly.


    Core

    What is a core?

    A core is a used automotive part that is returned to the remanufacturer instead of being scrapped.

    Why return cores?

    Cores are literally at the “core” of the remanufacturing process, because they are the raw material used to start the remanufacturing process. That’s why remanufacturers buy cores back from customers, and they pay the most for good quality cores. If a core has too much damage in key areas, it may be unusable or require extra resources to process; therefore a reduced core payment may be awarded. This core policy explains potential deductions that may be taken from the core price if certain components are missing or damaged.

    What is remanufacturing?

    Remanufacturing is the process of taking used parts, completely disassembling and thoroughly cleaning them, replacing the worn components with original quality components, and restoring them to their original function. Every unit is 100% tested to ensure O.E. performance.

    Why “reman”?

    PRODUCTS - Reman captures used, durable goods like auto parts and puts them “back on the road” to new and sometimes better than new performance. Reman provides the opportunity for detection of common failure modes and incorporation of design improvements to prevent repeat failure.

    ECONOMY - Reman products cost consumers about 40% less than new. Reman products are one of the few “green” products that actually costs less than their “non-green” counterparts.


    ENVIRONMENTAL - Reman saves up to 86% of the energy required to build a new unit. Reman realizes Greenhouse Gas savings of up to 25 lbs. per unit over new. Reman saves up to 85% of the raw material required to produce a new unit by reusing existing products. Reman is even more sustainable than recycling, as product castings are preserved rather than melted down to raw material, saving energy and reducing emissions.
