Window Motor: Description

Power operated front and rear door windows are standard equipment on this model. Each door has a permanent magnet reversible electric motor with an integral right angle gearbox mechanism that operates the window regulator. In addition, each power window motor is equipped with an integral self-resetting circuit breaker to protect the motor from overloads.

The power window motor gearbox housing is secured to the window regulator drum housing with screws. The window regulators used in all four doors are single vertical post cable-and-drum type. A molded plastic slider guided by the post is driven by the regulator cables. The slider raises and lowers the window glass through a steel lift plate attachment. Front and rear glass channels within each door guide and stabilize each end of the glass.

The power window motor and gearbox assembly cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the entire power window motor and gearbox unit must be replaced. The window regulators are available for service. For front doors, refer to WINDOW REGULATOR . For rear doors, refer to WINDOW REGULATOR .
