replaced window motor but it's running in reverse... Just so you all know, I've done this replacement before on the drivers side so I'm not new to this. I bought a refurbished window motor for my passenger window...installed it and it worked perfectly EXCEPT my down button went up and my up button made the motor go down. I cursed a bit, checked my connections and tried my drivers buttons to see if it had the same effect. The drivers side buttons did the exact same thing. I took the motor out and got another refurbished one and what do you know....it does the same damn thing. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this other than spend another $30+ on a new motor?

Two refurbished motors work in reverse? That is really odd. I guess you can try a third or just swap the wires in the replacement motor's connector to see if it starts working in the correct direction.

My advice is go get an autozone one with a lifetime warranty. Then if something like that happens, pull it out and swap in a new one for no more cost out of pocket.

Which motor are you buying? If you are getting the Siemens - its a reman. Go with the Doorman version. (It has a different casing design and should be NEW.)
If it still runs backward, maybe someone reversed your wires when a previous bad motor was installed? If so, you can use a terminal removal tool or a very small screwdriver to remove the terminals from the connector housing and switch them.

The motors were still original and looked like crap from the long years I guess.
