Product Features and Specifications

The Dorman 742-280 window motor is engineered to meet the electrical and mechanical requirements of Lincoln LS vehicles.

The hardwired/plug-in design simplifies electrical connections, but care should be taken to ensure secure and correct wiring. Verify window alignment and smooth operation after installation to prevent premature wear.
