Drive the front wipers across the windshield with the CARDONE New Windshield Wiper Motor 85-3001, a new motor that CARDONE designed as an improvement over the original design. It is listed for several models, among them the 1996-2000 Dodge Grand Caravan, 1996-2000 Chrysler Town & Country and 1996-2000 Dodge Caravan. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
The wiper motor supplies the rotating force that the wiper transmission linkage turns into the back-and-forth sweep of the front wiper arms. CARDONE focused on the components inside the motor:
- Stronger gears: The motor gears use a stronger, less brittle material than O.E. This is designed to help resist premature wear, stripping and breakage.
- Torque from the magnets: The magnets are designed to deliver the torque needed to handle extreme weather conditions. They also help compensate for other worn components in the wiper transmission linkage.
- Matched brushes and measured lubrication: The brushes are precisely designed so the armature and contacts are properly matched. Each motor is assembled with a precise amount of lubricant, intended for quiet operation and long life.
- Load tested: Each motor goes through load testing as a check on reliable performance.
A wiper motor may need replacing if the wipers do not move, run slowly or stop mid-sweep, or if the motor hums or grinds without driving the arms. Fuses, switches, wiring and the linkage can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before you replace the motor.
