Product Details and Features

This window motor is remanufactured and includes the internal gear necessary for operation. It uses a 2-wire configuration, typically grounded through the control switch, and mounts via three through holes for secure installation. The motor is designed to work with vehicles equipped with anti-pinch safety features, which prevent the window glass from closing on obstructions. This safety feature is monitored by an external module that tracks the internal gear rotation, enhancing user safety during window operation.

Common Issues Addressed by This Window Motor

• Power window failure or non-operation in rear right or left windows
• Noisy or popping sounds during window movement
• Windows dropping from the upper channel by several inches
• Intermittent window movement or one-directional operation
• Faulty or worn window lift motor causing slow or stuck windows

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the vehicle’s wiring and control switches are functioning properly before installation. This motor is designed for direct replacement and should not require resetting if the anti-pinch safety feature is present and undisturbed. Use the included instruction sheet for mounting guidance, and verify the motor is securely fastened using the three through-hole mounts. Bench-testing a case-grounded motor is possible but may affect performance if not handled correctly.
