Replacing the eclectic motor on my wife’s 95 Mercury Sable GS this weekend. Drivers side front. Any and all tips are appreciated

Does the motor turn. Could be the gear. There are plastic parts that turn the gear and are designed to break if the window encounters resistance (i.e a neck). I got a replacement part from a Fords Only junk yard in GP. It was a ll metal. I had to drill a hole in the inner door panel to get at one of the nuts on the motor. I always just took the motor out someone told me that they always took the whole fram assembly out. Check on the Ford forum.

I think it's been going out for a while now. It runs slow and somtimes it just quits altoghter. It hasen't worked for a month now. Used to be able to give it a love tap and it would work but now its dead. Maybe too many love taps

If you could hit the panel & it would work it needs the motor & gears

The window motor has been replaced. I really think the problem was the regulator though. I put the new motor in and it worked at first and them it quit. I figured out that the wiring harness for the regulator was loose. I bent the red wire contact a little and tapped it up with electrical tape so that the wiring harness was secure. I also lubed all the channels with water proof grease. At least it rolls up faster now. Thanks for your tips!
