This remanufactured unit is designed to replace faulty or worn motors in the front left window position of the Ford LTD Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis, and Ford Colony Park models.

Installation Notes and Tips
Ensure the vehicle’s wiring and control switches are in good condition before installation. The motor should be installed in the front left window location and secured using the three through-hole mounting points. Follow the included instruction sheet carefully to avoid disturbing the factory calibration of the anti-pinch safety feature. Bench testing a case-grounded motor is possible but should be done with caution to prevent damage.
