Detailed Description

Dorman 742-490 is a replacement power window lift motor for the front left position on the 2006 Lincoln Zephyr and 2007-2009 Lincoln MKZ.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and front left position before ordering. This Dorman 742-490 window motor does not include the regulator, mounting hardware, wiring harness, or window lift gear, so inspect the existing components before installation. Confirm the connector style matches the plug-in design and check the window regulator for wear or binding that could affect motor life.
