Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1986-1995 Ford Taurus, front right. Fits 1986-1995 Mercury Sable, front right. Fits 1988-1993 Lincoln Continental, front left. Verify the original part number and physical connector style before installation, especially when replacing a motor outside the vehicle. This unit is shipped in the full-up position for auto up/down applications and should not be bench-tested before it is coupled to the regulator. If the motor is disturbed before installation, travel limits may need to be reset according to the vehicle service procedure. The regulator is not included.
