my drivers side window wont go up or down now, i havent talked to my dad about it yet, but i was wondering if anyone knew how much a new motor is. also how hard would it be to change to manual windows, since i would kinda prefer the simplicity. do i have to change the tracks around and stuff? thanks

archemedes

whole setup has to change, tracks may be able to stay, but it's a pain. New motor should be about $55 available at advance part number ACI 82460 for a new one clean teh tracks, check your wiring and grease the tracks

yea advance has them on stock, and check ebay i had to replace mine on my 3.8 when i had it and i got a new one off ebay real cheap, it was a ***** to put in though.

archemedes

the one from advance has a lifetime warranty just to let you know so if it's even close to that don't bother with ebay

Yea just keep your recipt if you go with advance.. They should tell you to but depends on the store and thier policies.

i might get one from autozone, both of mine are real slow, the ones i found online are OE replacements for 40 bucks each. but i got it to work again, it might be in the switch but idk. not sure yet. its fine for now cause at least the window is up. its kinda tempromental, but i havent realy messed with it. as soon as i got it up i was so happy that i parked it for the night and went inside. so i will see weather it is the switch/wiring, and when i get more money i will prolly jsut get two new motors.

Thats the way mine was the motor was shot but every so ofter i would push the button and it would go up a lil bit so i just drove around for a long while pushing the button every so often till it went all the way up.

archemedes

check for binding and dry grease in the track also, and didn't Chris have a link about the wiring sucking on them?

Both mine are bad and neither work. Its a good thing I have T-Tops. I tried to fix them once but I cant get my hands in there. I think I am just gonna take mine to a shop to have them do it... I dont really like having a shop work on my stuff.

pull your door panels off, or do u mean you cant get in between the bracing.

archemedes

yeah if you can't get to that your hands have to be huge, I have a frend whose 6'6" 275 lbs and he's replaced them before

its a pain in the *** gettin the motor off, well atleast on my firebird it was, the holes in the door to reach up to take it out were really small and too far away from the motor, i barley was able to get at it.

archemedes

sawzall takes it off fast

Bernotas05

I was close to doing that lol then i finally got at it after scraping the hell out of my arms gettin impatient with it.
