Product Details and Features

This remanufactured window motor includes a gear and is designed for through-hole mounting with three mounting holes, ensuring a secure fit. It operates with a two-wire electrical connection and is suitable for installation on the front left, front right, rear left, or rear right window locations. The motor incorporates an anti-pinch safety feature, which prevents the window glass from closing on obstructions by monitoring the internal gear rotation through an external module. This safety feature was first introduced by Opel in 1986 and is now common in many GM vehicles.

Common Applications and Issues Resolved

• Restores power window function on Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac models
• Eliminates noisy operation or popping sounds caused by worn or faulty motors

• Addresses power windows that only run in one direction or fail to operate
• Replaces motors with damaged or worn phenolic pistons for smoother operation

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the motor is installed without disturbing its factory settings to maintain the anti-pinch safety feature functionality. Verify wiring connections, as most two-wire motors are grounded through the control switch. Avoid bench-testing the motor if it is case grounded, as this may cause damage. Inspect weather-strips, tracks, and switch contacts for wear or dirt that could affect window operation.
