5 tips on how to use and replace it

1. Mind that manufacturers do not specify any service life limits for this component, however, its lifespan largely depends on how often it is used.
2. If you’re not skilled enough in working with electrics, visit an automotive repair shop. When the device is removed, it is important to remember the order of contact connection. Besides, if you make a mistake while mounting the device, it won’t work. As a result, you’ll have to disassemble the unit and install a power window motor again.
3. If you do the repairs on your own, be very careful. To remove an electric motor, you will need to take off the door trim and fasteners that hold the glass with great care.
4. You shouldn’t replace the motor if the ambient temperature is below 0 °C. In such conditions, the risk of damaging door trim fasteners is getting higher.
5. Having removed the part, examine other elements of the system and replace them if necessary. If they are damaged, the mechanism won’t work properly.

Malfunctions of a power window motor, their causes and symptoms

• Cracks on the housing. The cause can be an impact from a car accident. This defect causes the motor to vibrate strongly during operation.
• Corrosion damage to internal elements. This can be caused by moisture that gets inside the housing through a crack. A symptom of such a malfunction is that the window doesn’t move up or down when the button is pressed.
• Deterioration of the brushes that supply power to the rotor. That is a natural result of constant friction. As a rule, with that defect, the mechanism fails to activate sometimes.
