Window motor?

[RobbyP33 10]

On my 1990 corrado the passenger window will not go down. When I press down on the switch the relay does click. Probably the motor itself is bad right? If anyone dosent think its the motor feel free to comment haha. If it is the motor where is the best place to get one in the states? Or does someone have one for sale?

AFAIK it sounds like a motor issue - i have the same on my VR drivers side

 

i think it is a case of drilling the old motor out from behind the rear door card & then re-riveting a replacement in there

The motor is on the mechanism behind the front door card. Yep drill all rivets out and replace. You can only get 2nd hand replacements.

oh i see - thanks Jon!

 

that really would have had me scratching my head lol

 

i guess it is just the window controller module behind the rear card - which i checked being hopeful of a loose connection but alas not

 

can i ask if have you done one before?

 

if yes, is it easier to replace the full mechanism or quite simple to remove the motor itself?

 

thanks

There is a company here in the states where you can get a new window motor for $200. Its alittle pricey for a window motor lol. Do you know any other places that I can get one?

Yeah mine started not coming down intermittently then it stuck solid in the up position. So got a second hand complete mechanism and drilled out the old one and put the new one in. Sounds easier than what it was, thing to note is remember which way the mechanism comes out as it only goes in one way.

There's a how to on the internet somewhere.

Update: actually dove into and and it was combo of a broken regulator and busted switch. Motor was totally fine!

 

The link will be up shortly for the service manual. Pending moderator approval.
