CARDONE Reman Windshield Wiper Motor P/N:40-1026
Keep the wipers sweeping clean across the glass with the A1 CARDONE Remanufactured Windshield Wiper Motor 40-2003 (also written 402003) — the electric motor that drives the wiper linkage and arms. It installs as a direct-fit remanufactured replacement for the listed applications, including the 1987-1993 Ford Mustang, 1989-1997 Ford Thunderbird and 1989-1997 Mercury Cougar, with many more below.
CARDONE released its first remanufactured wiper motors back in 1970, and has refined the process ever since. Signs this motor may need replacing include wipers that won't move, sweep slowly, stall mid-wipe, or fail to return to the park position — though a wiper that cycles but always stops in the same mid-glass spot is often a mechanical crank-arm or linkage indexing issue rather than the motor.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
Is the 40-2003 a new or remanufactured motor?
It's remanufactured by A1 CARDONE — main components are tested or gauged to the O.E. standard, bearings are re-impregnated or replaced, solder points reflowed, and magnets recharged, then the motor is function-tested.
Which vehicles does this wiper motor fit?
Applications include the 1987-1993 Ford Mustang, 1989-1997 Ford Thunderbird and Mercury Cougar, 1991-1996 Ford Escort, 1995-1997 Ford Explorer and Ranger, and Mazda B2300/B3000/B4000. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Is this a front windshield or a rear wiper motor?
It is a windshield (front) wiper motor, as named by the manufacturer. It drives the wiper linkage and arms that sweep the front glass.
My wipers always stop in the middle of the glass — is the motor bad?
Not necessarily. A wiper that cycles normally but always parks in the same mid-glass spot is usually a mechanical crank-arm or linkage indexing issue rather than a failed motor or park switch.
Do I need to reuse any parts from my old motor?
Diagnose the fault before replacing. Transfer or reuse linkage and hardware only as directed by the vehicle service procedure, and consult the service information for install steps and any required fasteners.
