Detailed Description

This Dorman window motor is built for 2010-2015 Cadillac SRX front left applications and 2011 Saab 9-4X front left applications. It is intended to restore normal power window movement when the original motor has worn out, slowed down, or stopped responding. The design follows the original fit and function closely, making it a practical replacement for vehicles that use an anti-pinch, micro-controlled lift motor. Part number 742-576 is also cross-referenced to 421100 and 20991466 for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Solve

• Window glass will not move up or down
• Slow, weak, or intermittent window operation
• Window stops before reaching the full open or closed position
• Loss of express up/down function
• Faults related to a worn internal motor or gear assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

This replacement is a plug-in unit and does not include the regulator, mounting hardware, or wiring harness. Verify the front left position and confirm vehicle fitment before installation. Because the motor uses embedded logic and anti-pinch control, the window system may require initialization or relearn procedures after installation, depending on the vehicle.

Quality Assurance

Dorman designs replacement components to match original equipment fit and performance for specific vehicle applications. The 742-576 window motor is built as a direct-fit service part for the listed Cadillac SRX and Saab 9-4X models.
