Default Pass Window problem

I just replaced my Passenger window motor and now when I roll my window down sometimes it wont roll all the way down.

Like the button stops working right before it finishes sometimes.

Then it won't roll up either unless I keep trying about a minute later it will start working.

Im thinking the reman window motor I put in it is a POS and is dying.


any thoughts?

Sure sounds like the motor. I always recommend getting one locally with a lifetime warranty from a parts store.

Probably just a bad motor.

You should install the AutoTrix Window Fix kit available at the WS6 Store

It could wakup the reman for a while and make sure the next time you replace it will most likely be the last.

Bad reman or other bad motor. Even if you buy a "new" motor, always check the part from the store to make sure the contacts don't look worn. I've had stores give me old motors that others have returned for refunds that they accepted without checking them.

With F-body windows (and their size and weight) it is normal for the motor to go out "quickly". Rule of thumb, never use a used motor when replacing as such.
