What is Window Regulator with Motor?
- The window regulator typically comprises over a dozen components that enable precise movement up or down throughout the opening or closing of your windows. These components operate in two distinct assemblies: the scissor-style window regulator and the cable-operated window regulator. The electric motor is designed to with stand a specified number of opening and closing cycles. While the regulator maintains window position, the motor provides the necessary force to hold the window in place.
How to Replace Window Regulator with Motor?
part1 Disconnecting the Window from the Motor
1.Remove the interior door panel.
2.Gently remove the plastic door cover.
3.Locate the window mounting bolts.
4.Remove the bolts while a friend supports the window. Use the appropriate sized socket or open ended wrench to remove the window mounting bolts, but ask a friend to hold the window up as you do to prevent it from falling down once it’s disconnected.
5.Raise the window up into the door frame. Have your friend raise the window up into the door frame as though you had rolled it up normally. Ask them to hold the window in place until you are able to secure it.
6.Use masking tape to secure the window in place. With your friend holding the window up, pull off three or four strips of masking tape that are each about a foot long. Stick the strips to the window on each side over the door frame to hold the window up while you work.
part2 Disconnecting the Motor and Regulator
1.Remove the window regulator bolts. The window regulator runs the width of the interior portion of the door and moves back and forth in order to raise and lower the window. Find the bolts that hold the regulator to the door and remove them with a socket or open ended wrench.
2.Locate and remove the window motor mounting bolts.
3.Disconnect the motor wiring harness connector. The power window controls attach to the motor and regulator via a wiring pigtail connector. Press the tab down to disconnect the pigtail then pull them apart to disconnect the motor.
4.Remove the motor and regulator through the access port. With the pigtail disconnected, the power window motor and regulator will no longer be connected to anything inside the door. Reach into the large access port and pull them each out.
5.Connect the regulator to the new motor. If you are only replacing the power window motor and not the regulator itself, you will need to disconnect it and connect it to your new power window motor. Visually inspect the two to make sure the new motor matches the old one, then swap the regulator.
part3 Installing a New Power Window Motor
1.Slide the new motor and regulator back into place. Insert the power window motor and regulator back into the main service port in the door in exactly the opposite order that you removed them in when disassembling the door.
2.Replace the mounting bolts. Hold each component in the appropriate position as you return the mounting bolts that secure both the power window motor and the regulator. Thread each bolt in by hand first, then use a wrench to tighten them.
3.Reconnect the electrical connector.
4.Remove the masking tape and lower the window back down.
5.Insert the window mounting bolts.Once the window is in place, thread the window mounting bolts in by hand, before tightening them with the wrench.
6.Reinstall the plastic liner and interior panel. Once the window is mounted again, you can reattach the plastic interior cover, then reinstall the interior panel over the door. Insert the door mounting bolts or snaps to hold it in place.
Symptoms of a Bad or Failing A Window Regulator With Motor
- Creaking or groaning when the window is moved
- The window does not stay up when closed and creeps or falls down
- A window will not roll up
Repaired window regulators and motors can help keep you comfortable because you can open your car windows, but it also provides peace of mind that you can escape your car in the event of an emergency. Driving your car with a failed window regulator isn't inherently dangerous in itself but it can inhibit you if you experience trouble on the road. Have damaged or faulty window regulators replaced as soon as possible.
