Removal & Installation: Motor: Removal
CAUTION:
Prior to motor removal, ensure that the regulator arm is in a fixed position to prevent counterbalance spring unwind.
- Raise the window to the full-up position, if possible. If the glass cannot be raised and is in a partially down position, it must be supported so that it will not fall into the door well during motor removal.
- Disconnect battery ground cable.
- Remove door trim panel and watershield. See DOOR TRIM .
- Disconnect window motor connector. See Figure .
- Position the motor wiring harness out of the way. Using a 19mm (3/4 inch) hole saw with a 1/4-inch pilot, drill three holes at the existing drill dimples located on the door inner panel adjacent to the motor.
- Remove the three window motor retaining screws and disengage the motor and drive assembly from the regulator quadrant gear.
