Product Details and Features

The Dorman 742-281 window motor is engineered to replace the factory motor in Lincoln LS models. It features a plug-in design that simplifies installation by eliminating the need for hardwiring. The included window lift gear ensures the motor works seamlessly with the window regulator system, although the regulator itself is not part of this package.

  • Solves problems with windows stuck in the up or down position

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the Dorman 742-281 window motor requires removal of the door panel and disconnection of the original motor. Since mounting hardware and wiring harness are not included, retain the original parts for reinstallation. The plug-in connector allows for a direct electrical connection without splicing. Ensure the window lift gear meshes properly with the regulator before securing the motor. Testing window operation before reassembling the door panel is recommended to confirm correct installation.
