Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Dec 29, 2007, 12:44 AM Post #2 of 5 (2748 views) Re: window motor replacement Sign In http://www.autozone.com/...artTypeResultSet.htm <<< Just looked at the likely part and those are usually pretty easy. Take off door panel and look for the three bolts - may require drilling a hole to access and may be indexed where to drill. That's a clear case of measure twice and cut once if needed. This should be diagnosed carefully before you replace the motor. What are your finding so far that makes you think it's the motor? T jsmur New User Dec 29, 2007, 5:57 AM Post #3 of 5 (2744 views) Re: window motor replacement Sign In I have checked the switches and wires to the motor, all are working or getting power to motor. I have changed a window motor on a 2002 stratus, but the 04 is set up different and little room to manuver. So I will have to drill out the door where the bolts for the motor are located? Not liking that much. Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Dec 29, 2007, 6:53 AM Post #4 of 5 (2740 views) Re: window motor replacement Sign In Remember I'm not looking at it like you are. This type motor would probably be help in by three 8mm bolts into the head/gear end of it. It may have been mounted there when new before spot welds made direct access impossible. Some you might get a ratheting box wrench at or whatever but may not be able to start them back in when replacing so a straight line shot at it can be had with drilling a hole such that a 1/4 socket can go straight in. Know that this type motor with just two wires is reversing polarity for up or down. That could be the problem. Body of this motor may need to be grounded. Some tricks that save a wasted job: Just look at a dome light with key on engine off such that windows should work. Hit the switch for up or down on that motor and if the light filckers or dims the motor is drawing current. If it does flicker there's a VERY high chance the motor is bad. If nothing then test the wires close to the motor for getting power and ground alternately as up or down is requested. If good to right there - motor is bad. You have to look at how it's mounted. Perhaps the ounting area can be moved - you are there - I'm not. Sorry I don't have software programs with pics/diagrams and instructions that might be available. Some metal that would need drilling out is indexed with a center punch like ding that locates the spot. Cool Trick related: I've needed to get very old motors out of junks and away from house power. A 9v battery (household) with jumper clips can make these things work without load on them. Good for testing them in a bone yard. I'm trying for you. Perhaps someone else here has more exact know how for this specific car, T (on edit: changed if it "does" flicker from if it doesn't move which was confusing) sorry (This post was edited by Tom Greenleaf on Dec 29, 2007, 10:37 AM) jsmur New User Dec 29, 2007, 7:10 AM Post #5 of 5 (2739 views) Re: window motor replacement Sign In Tom, thanks for the info..
