Ford Power Window Motor Replacement

[@brianwaskow5910]

Brings back the memories of replacing all the window mechanics on my 67 mustang, I should have written a procedure once I had it figured out. Once friends found out I had experience they would ask me to do theirs. I would give guidance from my lawnchair with a beer in one hand.

LOL. "A little to the left...NO not that left.

[@bryanhenderson665]

Cool ! Great info Jeff -- I am seeing those 80-89 fords become more popular

[@offroad4x4nhlife45]

[@bryanhenderson665]

Oh ok -- thanks -- learned something today

[@AutoRestoMod]

Yes they are!

[@OldeCarrGuy]

I've never met a window motor/regulator that I liked!!!!

[@AutoRestoMod]

Me either. Always look like I got into a knife fight with a ninja.

[@CopCat34]

Excellent video. Those helpful hints such as the 2” x 4” are helpful. Please keep making your videos.

[@AutoRestoMod]

Thank you! Will do!

[@Duaneoca]

Pat drives a R53 mini! That’s my daily driver, and I love it! :)

[@AutoRestoMod]

That's awesome! He likes it a lot...when it runs!

[@theovallas]

Good work! I like the occasional different project.

[@AutoRestoMod]

Thank you very much!

[@stephenhotzjustdriveit]

Jeff you have way more patience with window regulators than I do.

[@AutoRestoMod]

Well, it is Pat's truck...Otherwise I might have been throwing things.

[@Paulie1232]

Good job jeff, thanks for posting

[@AutoRestoMod]

Any time!

[@classicstangbrn8964]

There are 3 bolts holding that motor on the regular. In front of the of the motor on the sheet metal there are drill dimples in drill holes to get to those bolts without removing the whole assembly.

[@AutoRestoMod]

You are right. But it isn't my truck LOL.

[@CJColvin]

I need to do the same to the window on the passenger side on my 96 F150.

[@AutoRestoMod]

Just watch it in a mirror. LOL

[@MattsRageFitGarage]

Glad mine has manual windows!

[@AutoRestoMod]

LOL Power ain't bad...sometimes it ain't good either.

By far the worst electric window motor I have ever replaced was in an old Series 3 Jag. The doors themselves were never originally designed for electric windows, in addition to which, these were the dreaded British Leyland days and as such Jaguar did not have the funding to design and develop their own mechanisms so bought an off the shelf GM unit and adapted it to fit. As a result, you basically had a hand built system that was a combination of the GM components and the old hand cranked Jag mechanism custom fitted to each individual vehicle.

[@AutoRestoMod]

That sounds like a nightmare...

[@cheyennedogsoldiers]

@@AutoRestoMod But thats old Jags, lol. I do love'em but even in the 80's you still could have 2 identical models that are slightly different because they were built on different days of the week.

[@Pens-and-morez]

Hey this is a off topic question do you think I could put a 60s Ford falcon motor in a f100 ? My motor might be bad 🥺

[@AutoRestoMod]

Yep. The transmission is the big difference.

[@cjeffcoat2]

Probably a good idea to replace the motor anyway, I bet the brushes in the bottom are probably worn.

[@AutoRestoMod]

Yeah I think it was pretty tapped out. But it has been replaced I'm guessing.

[@jeffrob073]

Ugh brings back memories of my 88 Bronco. Cut up arms and hands, and you must be a contortionist sometimes

[@AutoRestoMod]

Especially if you drop the bolts...
