Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Front left window does not move up or down
• Slow or weak window travel
• Intermittent window operation from worn internal motor components
• Noisy window lift operation caused by motor wear
• Loss of proper window positioning after motor failure

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1996-1999 Dodge Neon, front left. Fits 1996-1999 Plymouth Neon, front left. Do not bench-test an express up/down motor before it is fully coupled to the regulator, since that can cancel the upper limit position. If the motor is disturbed from its factory-set position, travel limits must be reset after installation. For 2-wire motors, verify switch and wiring polarity before replacing the part. If the vehicle uses an anti-pinch system, follow the service manual procedure for initialization after installation.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactured window lift motors are tested for performance, inspected for internal wear, and renewed to meet OE-style operation. The remanufacturing process also reduces energy and raw material use compared with producing a new part.
